A Hall County man faces vehicular homicide charges in a July 4 wreck that killed two metro Atlanta teenagers.

Tony James Delong, 19, also is charged with driving too fast for conditions and was cited for having three passengers who were not wearing seat belts, Lt. Paul Cosper with the Georgia State Patrol told the AJC Monday.

Delong was driving a 1993 Jeep Wrangler on Whelchel Mill Road when the vehicle left the roadway, struck an embankment and overturned several times, Cosper previously said.

Brandon Hodges, 14, of Lawrenceville, and Christian Walker, 16, of Cumming, both died after being ejected in the single-vehicle wreck. Delong and two other teenage passengers were injured.
