After hitting the tree, the SUV burst into flames.

Deputies said there were three people in the SUV and all three were pronounced dead by Deputy Coroner Luanne Stone. Authorities say that their bodies were burned so badly, they were not identifiable.

Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones told reporters that he was able to identify the victims as 41-year-old Karen Gregory, 19-year-old Kyron Gregory and 10-year-old Yahvi Gregory.
