FLORENCE, AL (WAFF) - A Florence man has died after suffering burn-related injuries in a Saturday morning crash.

The wreck occurred on Cloverdale Road, just north of Cox Creek Parkway, according to our news partners at the Times Daily.

20-year-old Ryan Joshua Pitts died at UAB Hospital. He had been flown from the scene to the UAB Burn Center.
