George M. Pody, an 83-year-old Birmingham man, was critically injured in a head-on crash on Forestdale Boulevard on April 15, 2021, when a Chevrolet Silverado crossed the centerline and struck the Volkswagen Atlas he was driving. He was taken to UAB Hospital and lingered for 24 days before dying of his injuries on May 9, 2021. Local reports and the Jefferson County coroner described the case as a fatal traffic investigation rather than a shooting or street homicide, but the collision ultimately produced a criminal case.

Public filings and news listings identify George Franklin Holcombe as a suspect. Holcombe was booked in Jefferson County on November 16, 2021, on a reckless manslaughter charge; one account also ties a driving under the influence of alcohol charge to the collision.

Did anyone in the area see the Silverado cross the centerline that day or have information about the crash?
