The deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle, but the driver refused to stop, increasing their speed to 169 mph.
Deputies from Monroe County and Butts County arrived to put out the flames and were able to pull two male subjects from the car. Authorities pronounced four dead at the scene, while two others were hospitalized.
Police said they located three guns and 17 credit cards on the scene. The investigation is still active at this time, the sheriff’s office wrote on social media.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office was not able to provide further details.
Our condolences go to the family and friends of those involved.
