SPANISH FORT, Ala. (AP) - A Spanish Fort teenager has been charged with two
counts of murder for Monday's crash that killed two bicyclists in Baldwin
County.
The Press-Register newspaper reports that this is the second arrest for
19-year-old Patrick Young Ballard. He was also charged in June 2005 with
hitting and killing another bicycle rider in Fairhope.
In the latest case, authorities allege that Ballard was under the influence
of alcohol and was speeding when he struck 48-year-old William Frederick
Imle of Daphne and 46-year-old Archie Leroy Clemons Junior of Spanish Fort.
The crash happened just before 9 a.m. on Bromley Road, not far from U.S.
31. Ballard is scheduled to appear before a Baldwin County judge sometime
tomorrow.

SPANISH FORT, Ala. (AP) - Two bicycle riders were killed when they were hit
by a pickup truck yesterday (Monday) morning near Spanish Fort.
Alabama state troopers said it happened just before 9 a.m. on Bromley Road,
about a mile from U.S. 31.
Baldwin County Coroner Jim Small identified the victims as 48-year-old
William Frederick Imle of Daphne and 46-year-old Archie Leroy Clemons Junior
of Spanish Fort.
Troopers said a preliminary investigation revealed the 19-year-old driver of
the pickup lost control of the vehicle in a curve and struck the bicyclists.
The vehicle then crashed into a ditch and overturned, ejecting the driver
and his passenger, also a teenager. Their injuries were not considered
serious.
A trooper spokesman said no charges were filed and the accident remains
under investigation.
