A single-vehicle crash on Tuesday, August 15, has claimed the life of a Pooler, GA man. According to authorities, Kester Bruton, age 70, was fatally injured when the 2007 Volvo tractor trailer that he was driving left the roadway, struck a tree and caught fire. Bruton was pronounced deceased at the scene. The crash occurred on Interstate 59 near the 188 mile marker, approximately five miles north of Attalla, in Etowah County. Nothing further is available as Troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) Highway Patrol Division continue to investigate the incident Man Killed in accident on I-59 “Not only is this affecting citizens across the nation, this rise is also a cause for concern regarding the well- being of our law enforcement and first responders. Just recently, one of our own, ALEA Senior Trooper Charles May, came in contact with an individual who was exposed to fentanyl mixed with xylazine and has suffered health- related issues since the incident occurred. This is why we feel it is imperative to share this information with all of our partners and the public,” added Taylor. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) is taking measures to warn and educate the public of an increase in the trafficking of fentanyl mixed with xylazine. Xylazine, also known as “Tranq,” is a powerful sedative that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved for veterinary use. Xylazine can be found in liquid and powder forms and can be injected, snorted, smoked or swallowed. It can be mixed with other drugs including cocaine, heroin and fentanyl. “One of the most alarming issues with the increased use of xylazine and fentanyl is the fact that xylazine is not an opioid. This means naloxone (Narcan) will not reverse its effects, placing users at a higher risk of suffering a fatal drug poisoning, commented ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor. However, experts still recommend administering naloxone if someone might be suffering a drug poisoning. People who inject drug mixtures containing xylazine also can develop severe wounds, including necrosis, which is the rotting of human tissue and could potentially lead to amputation. According to the CDC and shared in a release by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, 107,735 Americans died between August 2021 and August 2022 from drug poisonings, with 66 percent of those deaths involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl. The Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco Cartel in Mexico, using chemicals largely sourced from China, are primarily responsible for the vast majority of the fentanyl that is being trafficked in communities across the United States.
