Two Men Charged After Alabama Drag Race Crash Kills Three

A 3-year-old boy was killed in a crash during an apparent weekend drag race, NBC News reported.

Two other people were killed and nine others were injured, police said.

Two Alabama men — Clyde Lawson, 27, and Maurice Devote Wedgeworth, 22 — face three counts of manslaughter and one count of leaving the scene of an accident with injuries, state police spokesman Reginal King said in a statement.

Both men fled the scene, but Wedgeworth — who was among those injured — later turned himself in at a hospital. Lawson was taken into custody in Huntsville, according to King.
