State Troopers have released the name of the driver of the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado truck involved in the crash that claimed the life of a Muscle Shoals man, early Saturday afternoon.

Troopers say 26-year-old Tyler A. Hartman of Rogersville was operating the Chevy truck when he collided with Frank Hugh Bowling, 83, on River Road, near Stanfield’s Steakhouse. The accident occurred approximately six miles east of Muscle Shoals.
