Two people were injured Friday in a wreck that involved a hearse in a funeral procession.
The procession was headed west on Highway 22 when the hearse and a vehicle headed in the opposite direction collided head-on.
The driver of the hearse was airlifted with injuries that were considered potentially life-threatening, according to Clanton Fire Chief David Driver. The driver of the other vehicle was transported to a hospital by ambulance.
A third vehicle was involved in the wreck, but no occupants of that vehicle were injured.
The wreck occurred near the intersection with Willie Hamilton Road and LeCroy Career Tech Center.
