The Georgia State Patrol has released the names of the man and woman killed Monday in a single-car crash in Hart County. The two are identified as 81-year-old Frances White Morrison and 66-year-old James Richard White, both of Royston.
The deadly crash was reported around 12:23 p.m. on GA 8 near Seed Cleaner Road.

Both Morrison and White were pronounced dead at the scene. Neither was wearing a seatbelt, state troopers say. Georgia State Patrol Post 52 in Hartwell investigated the crash.
