A four-vehicle wreck on Valleydale Road has one confirmed fatality, according to Sgt. Kevin Brand with the Shelby County Sheriff's Office.
The wreck occurred around 3 p.m. in front of North Shelby Fire Station 1. According to a release from the Sheriff's Office, the wreck was blocking the roadway. Shelby County deputies and Alabama State Troopers are on the scene, and motorists are asked to avoid the area because of "major traffic congestion."
Brand said he was unsure how long the road will be closed.
