BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - A Mountain Brook man is charged with murder, manslaughter, robbery and leaving the scene of an accident after he was arrested in connection with a hit-and-run on a Birmingham interstate Sunday night that killed an Irondale man.

William Tynes Sevier III, 24, is being held in the Jefferson County Jail. Police say he is responsible for the crash that killed 49-year-old Charles Allen Taylor, the manager of Splash Adventure in Bessemer. Police say Sevier was driving a stolen car that he had just taken in a robbery in Homewood.

The crash happened about 7:30 p.m. Sunday on I-59/20 near the airport. Authorities said Taylor was driving his black Chevrolet Tahoe in the northbound center lane between the exits for Tallapoosa Street and Airport Boulevard. Sevier was driving a stolen gold Hyundai Elantra in the same direction and was changing lanes into the middle lane when he struck the rear bumper of Taylor's SUV.

The collision, authorities said, caused Taylor's Tahoe to flip several times. He was ejected from the SUV and pronounced dead on the scene.

Sevier left the scene, but was later arrested when an East Precinct officer spotted the suspect's vehicle in the rear of America's Best Inn on Messer-airport Highway. Sevier was then found in the hotel lobby.

Birmingham police spokesman Sgt. Johnny Williams Jr. said the manslaughter stems from the fatal crash. The murder charge has been brought because a death occurred while in the course of another felony which was the robbery in Homewood.

Efforts to obtain details of the Homewood robbery weren't immediately successful.

Court records show Sevier has an extensive arrest record in Jefferson, Shelby and Tuscaloosa counties. He pleaded guilty earlier this to a charge of attempting to elude police. He was convicted of resisting arrest in 2010, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a forged instrument, public intoxication and criminal trespassing in 2009, and possession of marijuana in 2008.

Sevier was involved in another high-profile wreck in 2007. He was one of five Mountain Brook teens in a vehicle that crashed in the 4800 block of Overton Road in Irondale on Dec. 7. Two teens, Josh Hadraba and Leah Marks, were killed in that crash.

A third person was seriously injured. Sevier, a passenger, was treated and released from the hospital the following day. The driver, John Hamilton Perkins IV, pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter and one count of assault.

Perkins in 2009 was sentenced to a 10-year split, with one-year to serve and five years of probation.

"This is a terrible tragedy for many families, particularly the man that was killed,'' said Sevier's attorney, Tommy Spina. "The family of Mr. Sevier expressed their sincerest sympathies and we will deal with this process through the criminal justice system."
