We spoke to Ronnie Maddox, a local man who drove up on the accident shortly after it happened. He described for us what he saw.

"There was two on the blacktop, and a couple in the vehicle. Evidently speeding on the curve here. You got to watch this curve, it's slick and it'll get you. I've seen many of them get you right here," Maddox said.

The Sheriff's Office report states speed and alcohol are likely factors.

No other names have been released at this point.
