THOMASVILLE, Ga. (WTXL)--Two people are dead after a crash in Thomasville.
Georgia State Patrol troopers say 24-year Michael Justin Bevard and his passenger 28-year old Damian Brown were killed.

It happened shortly after 1:00 a.m. on Monday.
"Our hearts go out to the families of these two gentlemen, our deepest sympathy," said Steve Jones with the Thomas County Sheriff's Office. I just wish that people will understand that drag racing or whatever they where doing at high speeds is so, so dangerous and can end so quickly."
