Two people were killed over the weekend in separate Jefferson County traffic crashes.
The Jefferson County Coroner's Office on Monday identified one of the victims as 47-year-old Jessie Harper from Adamsville. The second victim's name is being withheld pending confirmation of his identity.
Harper died Friday night in a head-on collision with an 18-wheeler in Adamsville. The crash happened at 5:47 p.m. in the 2000 block of Veteran's Memorial Drive.
Authorities said Harper was driving a 2010 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck when, for unknown reasons, he crossed over into oncoming traffic and struck a tractor-trailer head-on. He was pronounced dead on the scene at 5:50 p.m.
The second deadly accident happened at 2:30 a.m. Saturday on Alabama 75 in Pinson. The victim, a young adult male, was driving a pickup truck that left the roadway, went into nearby woods and caught fire. He was pronounced dead on the scene at 2:34 a.m.
The coroner's office said they have been in touch with the victim's family and are awaiting confirmation on the identity of the remains.
