Two victims from a fatal Burke County crash have been identified.

Russell Shayne Findley, 49, of Hephzibah, and Gabriel Lee Bobbitt, 31, of Ball Ground, died after a single-vehicle crash about 7:40 p.m. Wednesday on the 800 block of Hancock Landing Road about a mile east of Shell Bluff, the Burke County Sheriff's Office announced Thursday.

While the crash is still being investigated, preliminary findings suggest that the vehicle's high speed kept the driver from successfully negotiating a curve. Instead, the vehicle left the road, hit a culvert, and flipped several times.
