An Opp man was killed in a single-vehicle car crash Monday morning.
Michael J. Wilson, 30, of Opp was found unresponsive and trapped inside a vehicle when first responders arrived at the scene of the crash on Perry Store Road.
According to the Opp Police Department, officers responded to a report of the accident at approximately 8:18 a.m. Upon arrival, officers found a 2004 GMC Yukon in a ditch on the west-bound sound of the road.
Officials with the Opp Fire Department and Haynes Ambulance Service also responded to the scene and used hydraulic rescue tools to gain entry to the vehicle and extricate Wilson, who was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Officials said the preliminary investigation suggests the driver lost control of the vehicle and struck a tree before coming to rest in the ditch.
The accident remains under investigation by the OPD. Troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency assisted at the scene.
