Patrick Hicks, 40, of Glencoe, and Charles Avery, 50, of Weaver, were outside a vehicle pulled over to the side in the southbound lane when they were struck from behind, said Calhoun County Coroner Pat Brown.
The hazard lights for the vehicle parked on the side of the road were on at the time of the accident, which happened at about 5:15 p.m., Brown said.
One of the men was employed at nearby Laser Fabrication and Machine Co., Brown said. It was unknown whether he was a passenger in the vehicle, or if he was helping the driver.
The driver who hit the two men was taken to Regional Medical Center, but did not seem to have life-threatening injuries, Brown said. His name was not available at press time.

We are so saddened when hearing about these two men losing their lives. we know one of them and our hearts are broken. Patrick is such a sweet and good young man. Our Prayers go out to his family who are wonderful friends of ours. Patrick, you will always be with us in our hearts, thought and memories. I can remember a time when i was at your mom and dad; home and you were there and when you left to go home , when you gave your mom a hug, you came and gave me one,too. You will forever be missed!!!!!!!!!
