OPELIKA, AL (WSFA) - A 27-year-old Auburn man has died following a two-vehicle crash in Lee County early Thursday morning.

Investigators say Massey was pronounced dead a short time later. The deputy, whose name has not been released, was taken to a nearby hospital with unknown injuries.
Alabama State Troopers continue to investigate the cause of the crash.
