The Georgia State Patrol (GSP) is investigating a crash that left two people dead.

GSP said on Friday, around 12:57 a.m., troopers tried to stop a white Jeep for speeding on Interstate 85 north at Cleveland Avenue in Fulton County.

The driver of the Jeep did not stop, which led troopers on a chase onto I-75/85.

When the driver got off at the Edgewood Avenue exit, a passenger in the Jeep got out while it was still moving. The driver then continued onto I-75/85 south.

The driver got to I-20 east when troopers performed a PIT maneuver to stop the Jeep.

The two remaining people in the Jeep were ejected. GSP said the responding trooper attempted CPR but both were pronounced dead on the scene.

There is no word on what happened to the passenger that got out of the vehicle while it was still traveling on the Edgewood Avenue exit.

Troopers said they also recovered an automatic weapon from the scene. The investigation is still ongoing.
