Two people were killed after being thrown from their motorcycle early Saturday on Interstate 65 in Montgomery County, state troopers said.

George Williams, 34, and Bridget Leashae Williams, 30, of Hanceville were riding a Harley-Davidson about three miles south of Montgomery when the wreck happened. Troopers said George Williams was driving when he tried to pass another vehicle, left the road and struck a cable barrier at about 8:08 a.m.

Both were pronounced dead at the scene near mile marker 164, troopers said.

Alabama Law Enforcement Agency's Highway Patrol Division continues to investigate. They did not immediately release additional details Saturday.
