It happened on Highway 45 between Spice Pond Road and Kushla McLeod Road.

The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office said 39-year-old Towanda O’Field was chasing her children’s father and trying to run him off the road when she crashed head-on into another vehicle.

All three people in the other vehicle, Alexsis Dunn, Jerry Dunn, and their 8-month-old baby girl Valerie, were killed. O’Field also died in the wreck.
