A Bessemer husband and wife have been identified as the victims killed in a head-on crash in Hoover.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the fatality victims as Teresa Darlene Doss Roberts, 64, and George Raymond Roberts, 67.

The wreck happened at 6:19 a.m. Tuesday on John Hawkins Parkway at Mars Hill Road. That location is near Hunter Street Baptist Church.

Authorities said the couple was in a Nissan Rouge, with Teresa Roberts behind the wheel, when they were struck by an oncoming Lexus RS 350.

The Lexus, said Hoover police Capt. Keith Czeskleba, was traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes of John Hawkins Parkway when it hit the Roberts’ vehicle head on.

The Roberts were pronounced dead on the scene at 6:37 a.m.

The driver of the Lexus was taken to UAB Hospital. A passenger from the Lexus was taken to Children’s of Alabama. The extent of their injuries wasn’t immediately available, Czeskleba said.

The investigation is ongoing by Hoover police.
