CCSO has confirmed that the incident resulted in two fatalities and that two vehicles were involved.

Based on surveillance footage, the vehicle that fled appears to be a 1992-96 Toyota Camry, silver or goldish in color. The vehicle is reported to have sustained damage to the driver side headlight, driver side hood and appeared to crack the driver side windshield. The driver side mirror popped out, but the housing remained on the vehicle.

CCSO states the vehicle “is possibly registered in Virginia based on a possible front plate. The driver appeared to be a white male, however not confirmed.”
