Two men were killed in separate Birmingham traffic crashes over the holiday weekend.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victims as Cortez Lowery, 41, and Kedric Lamon Johnson, 49. Both men lived in Birmingham.

Lowery was found dead at 1:49 a.m. Saturday in the 9000 block of Zion City Road.

Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates said there were no witnesses to the crash, and it wasn’t immediately clear when it happened.

Lowery was the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle.

Johnson also died following a single-vehicle wreck. That crash happened in the 200 block of Pratt Highway.

He was taken to UAB Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 10:02 p.m. Sunday.

Birmingham police are investigating the circumstances surrounding both wrecks.
