Two young Columbus brothers died early Monday after the vehicle they were traveling in with their family and a family friend crashed in Cataula, Ga., Harris County Coroner Joe Weldon said.

Reese Road Elementary students Richard Farrell, 8, and John Farrell, 7, were pronounced dead at the scene at 1:50 a.m. Their bodies will be sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation crime lab in Atlanta for autopsies.

Weldon said the boys were riding in a vehicle with their father, 4-year-old brother and a family friend when it crossed Highway 315 and crashed in the woods around 12:30 a.m. The family friend was treated at the scene and released, but the surviving occupants were admitted to Midtown Medical Center in Columbus with non-life-threatening injuries.
