The driver and passenger of a 1998 GMC van died Friday morning when their vehicle was struck by a Mack truck pulling a trailer in Towns County.
The van failed to yield after stopping at the stop sign at Crooked Creek Connector and Ga. 2 and entered the path of the 2001 Mack truck pulling an equipment trailer, said Sgt. B.D. Taylor of Georgia State Patrol Post 27 Blue Ridge.
The truck struck the left side of the van in the intersection and the van occupants died at the scene.
Next of kin notification is pending, so GSP is withholding the names of all parties involved until that is completed.
Alcohol and drugs are not a suspected factor in the crash. All occupants were wearing seatbelts.
No charges are pending, Taylor said.
Troopers were requested to the crash on U.S. 76 / Ga. 2 about 8:30 a.m. Friday.
