An east Alabama mother of eight children and her 1-year-old son were killed in a single-vehicle crash Tuesday morning in Cherokee County.

Alabama State Troopers identified the woman as 46-year-old Brandi D. Odell of Gadsden.

State Troopers do not release the names of juvenile victims, but family members on social media identified the child as her son, Andrew, who just turned 1.

The wreck happened at 8:15 a.m. Tuesday on U.S. 411 near Pine Cone Road, about one mile south of Leesburg.

Odell was taking two of her children to daycare and then headed to work as a social worker, co-workers posted on Facebook.

She was driving a Nissan Murano that left the road and struck a tree, said Senior Trooper Brandon Bailey.

Odell and Andrew were pronounced dead on the scene. Odell’s 3-year-old daughters survived the crash and was taken to the hospital.

The crash remains under investigation by troopers.
