Two people are dead and their identities remain unknown after a gray Honda Odyssey traveling the wrong way on US 29 struck a black Infiniti SUV head-on near Reedy Fork Parkway in Greensboro Saturday night, triggering a post-crash fire that destroyed the Honda and left the victims beyond recognition.

North Carolina State Highway Patrol troopers responded to the scene at approximately 8:37 p.m. The Honda's driver and a passenger were both pronounced dead at the scene. A fire that broke out immediately after the collision consumed the vehicle, and troopers said the intense damage left the two victims unidentified as of Monday.

The driver of the Infiniti, Thomas Lamond Davis of Laurel, Md., suffered severe injuries and was transported to Moses Cone Hospital, according to troopers.

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol is asking anyone who witnessed the Honda Odyssey traveling the wrong way on US 29 before the collision to come forward. The correct tip line number could not be confirmed from available information; readers with knowledge of the crash are encouraged to contact the Highway Patrol directly.

Investigators have not released information about what caused the Honda to travel in the wrong direction, and no charges or citations have been announced. The investigation remains ongoing.
