THOMAS COUNTY, Ga. (WCTV) - Two people died early Friday morning in a single-vehicle crash on Dillon Road in Thomas County, according to the Georgia State Patrol.

Troopers responded to the crash just before 6:30 a.m. on Dillon Road near US 319 and found two people in a vehicle dead, GSP wrote in a press release Friday.

GSP said the vehicle was traveling west on Dillon Road at “an extremely high rate of speed.”

As the roadway curved right, troopers said the vehicle continued straight.

That’s when the vehicle hit a ditch, sprung over and hit a tree “approximately 10 feet up before coming to a final rest near the tree,” GSP wrote.
