Authorities in Cherokee County have identified two people whose bodies were pulled from a truck that was found in Weiss Lake over a week ago.  The victims were identified as 51-year-old Opal Dickerson and her 49-year-old husband, Jimmy.  Their bodies, were removed from the truck and authorities said the bodies had been underwater for between two and three weeks.   Officials earlier identified a third victim in the truck as 41-year-old Bobby Hyatt of Piedmont .
Authorities say a fisherman discovered the submerged vehicle in mid-June and the victims' deaths are being investigated as a traffic accident.
