A Bessemer woman charged with murder death of an unborn child following a DUI traffic crash last month.

Tiffany Polk, 37, is charged with murder, two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of third-degree assault and DUI.

She was booked into the Jefferson County Jail Oct. 6 and remains held.

The crash happened Friday, Sept. 22, in the 900 block of Ninth Avenue in Bessemer, according to Det. Justin Burmeister.

Polk was the driver of a vehicle that struck a second vehicle in the rear.

One of the victims in the second vehicle was seriously injured, Burmeister said, and suffered a miscarriage.
