The principal of Sumter High School could not be reached for comment.

In early reports Wednesday, it was rumored that four students from the University of West Alabama were involved in the wreck. A spokesperson for the college said no UWA students were injured.

The Alabama Department of Public Safety is still investigating the wreck. According to Cpl. Chris Ellis, with the Alabama Highway Patrol, the wreck was caused by poor visibility due to smoke from a nearby controlled burn being held down by fog.

The land that was being cleared by burning belonged to Brian Compton, Ellis said.

According to the Alabama Forest Commission, Compton had permits for the fire.

Compton could not be reached for comment.
