A county coroner in Georgia says two people have been killed in a crash on an icy stretch of Interstate 75.

Bibb County Chief Coroner Leon Jones tells The Associated Press the driver of a Ford Mustang lost control of the car and collided with a Honda Civic and a man standing near that car on the roadside about 80 miles (130 kilometers) southeast of Atlanta. The man standing near the Civic and another man inside the car were killed in the Wednesday morning crash.

Jones said it wasn't known Wednesday afternoon why one of the men was standing outside the car and the other one inside it.

Jones, who went to the crash scene, said the area was very icy.
