According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, the accident happened at around 3.30 a.m. on Mt. Olive Road near the Buckshort Bridge, north of Gardendale. Taylor, aged 35, of Morris was driving a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe and was traveling north on Mt. Olive Road when he lost control and the vehicle left the roadway, traveled down an embankment and struck a tree. Taylor was alone in the vehicle and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A passerby spotted the vehicle off the roadway and called 911.
Taylor was elected to the Jefferson County BOE in 2014 and the Jefferson County Republican Party said that he was an exemplary public servant who fought tirelessly to improve education for all who would be greatly missed.
