A 19-year-old Brent woman was killed Thursday night in a head-on crash on Alabama Highway 216 in Tuscaloosa County.
Carina V. Perez died at the scene of the wreck, which happened around 7 p.m. Thursday near the 24 mile marker, about two miles west of Lake View, according to troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.
