Atlanta police are searching for two people following a hit-and-run that left a man and woman dead Saturday morning on I-285.
The fatal crash occurred about 10 a.m. in the northbound lanes of the Perimeter at the Martin Luther King Jr. Drive exit, Atlanta police spokesman Marla Jean Rooker said.
Two vehicles were involved in the wreck and one of the cars overturned.
According to investigators, a Chevrolet Cruze was attempting to exit I-285 when it struck a Hyundai Sonata, causing the vehicle to flip. A woman inside the Hyundai, identified as 35-year-old Jasmeen Hollingsworth, was pronounced dead at the scene, Rooker said.
Terrell Pitts, 32, who was also in the car, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in critical condition but died shortly after the wreck.
Following the crash, a man and woman got out of Chevrolet and ran away, witnesses told police at the scene. Authorities are still searching for them.
