Five people who died in head-on crash in Georgia were Portsmouth residents

Authorities say six people including three children have been killed in a head-on collision on a Georgia interstate.

MIDWAY, Ga. — Authorities say six people including three children have been killed in a head-on collision on a Georgia interstate.

Later Sunday, authorities released the names of the five people in one of the cars, and all are from Portsmouth:

They were identified as 41-year-old Sara Robinson, 37-year-old Nathan Robinson, 12 or 13-year-old Stephen Robinson, 13 or 14-year-old Rebecca Robinson and 4 or 5-year-old Alexander Robinson. 

According to the Georgia State Patrol, the age discrepancy stems from the fact that extended family members were unable to remember the exact age of each child.

Liberty County sheriff's officials say the crash happened early Sunday on Interstate 95. 

Liberty County sheriff’s deputy Lt. Jason Colvin says officers received reports of a white Lexus traveling southbound in a northbound lane of I-95. 

He says deputies were headed there when the crash was reported in the Midway area. 

WSAV-TV reports that deputies arrived to find that a crash had occurred between the Lexus and an SUV. There were no survivors.
