BENTON COUNTY, Miss. — Two bodies were found on a Benton County road Wednesday, and authorities are still working to learn what happened.

People riding four-wheelers made the discovery just southwest of the Spring Hill community. The bodies of a man and a woman were found on the road.

Deputies blocked off the area around Hebron Road and Meridian Road as they investigated Wednesday afternoon.

The area is a rural area and has very few homes.
