Megan Salt, aged 74, and her husband Barry Salt, 73, from the Wednesbury area, both died in hospital following the collision near Stone in Staffordshire on Sunday.
Mr and Mrs Salt were travelling in a grey Ford Grand C-Max when the collision happened at around 4.45pm on the A34 in The Fillybrooks.
A 17-year-old girl who was in the car with them was unhurt, Staffordshire Police said.
