MARIETTA, GA — Police have identified the two people who died Tuesday morning in a five-car crash on Interstate 75 northbound near South Marietta Parkway.

DaSilva and Parra died at the scene while the driver of the Chevrolet and his passenger were taken to Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center for minor injuries, police said.

Two more cars drove through the area of the crash and had minor damage, police said. Both drivers stopped and cooperated with police.
