Two people died in a crash involving two vehicles and three tractor-trailers on I-65 northeast of Atmore on Friday.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency on Monday released details on the wreck on Friday, December 2.
Jewell W. Smith, 57, and her passenger, 36-year old Johnny W. Smith, were pronounced deceased at the scene after their 2009 Ford Escape was struck in the rear by a 2015 International tractor-trailer driven by Kevin L. Turner, 56, of Citronelle.
After the initial collision, the Ford Escape was pushed forward into a 2012 Mazda Miata driven by Kenneth M.

This is so sad and I feel for them all. Was it fog related? Sometime, regardless how careful you drive, unexpected things can happen. My prayers for all involved and their families. Please be careful and obey all the rules and laws. Thank you to all our highway patrol and all our policeman and women. You do a great job !
