Pedestrian Down

Birmingham Fire & Rescue

Engine 26 and Rescue 19 responded to a pedestrian down on the off ramp of I-20 at Montevallo Road. The patient was pronounced on the scene of possible natural causes. No other details are known at this time.

The patient appears to be the same person who was standing at that location, yesterday, with a sign asking for food. I used to see him quite frequently.
