Alabama A & M University employee dies in car crash.  Alabama A & M University lost an employee of more than 30 years Thursday when Cheryl Witt succumbed to injuries sustained in a car crash. Huntsville police say that Cheryl Witt was heading west on Interstate 565 near Research Park Boulevard that morning when a car traveling eastbound lost control and crossed over the median.  Police say an 18-wheeler in front of Cheryl Witt swerved out of the way, and the oncoming car crashed head-on into Cheryl Witt.  Police say that she likely did not see the on-coming car because of the truck in front of her and she  had no time to react.

Both drivers sustained serious injuries. Cheryl Witt died at Huntsville Hospital onThursday night. She was 54 year old.

Alabama A & M President Andrew Hugine issued the following statement:
