A 34-year-old woman is charged in the DUI crash deaths of a Bessemer couple killed in a head-on collision in Hoover late last year.

Sarah Rose Tisdale, of Hoover, is charged with two counts of murder in the Oct. 31 wreck that killed Teresa Roberts, 64, and George Roberts, 67.

Tisdale is also charged with reckless endangerment for serious injuries caused to her 3-year-old son who was in her vehicle.

Hoover police Capt. Keith Czeskleba said investigators determined that Tisdale was under the influence of multiple controlled substances at the time of the crash.

The wreck happened at 6:19 a.m. that 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 Rogue, with Teresa Roberts behind the wheel, when they were struck by an oncoming Lexus RS 350 driven by Tisdale.

The Lexu 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.

Tisdale was taken to UAB Hospital. Her son was taken Children’s of Alabama.

Hoover police took Tisdale into custody at 12:16 p.m. Friday in the 1500 block of Chace Terrace.

She was booked into the Jefferson County Jail where she remains held without bond.
