The total number of victims has now been confirmed as two, one man and one woman who have now been identified as 34-year-old James Jackson and 25-year-old Shaletha Brooks.
The couple, both of Madison, were killed after their car struck a tree when it went off the interstate at around 2:34 p.m., according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
