The patrol said a second SUV hit the moped passenger.
The moped driver, Matthew Randall, 27, and passenger, Larry Davis Jr., 31, were taken to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, where they died.
Troopers said it's not clear if charges will be filed in the crash, adding that mopeds are not permitted on limited access highways.
According to the patrol, the accident led to several other wrecks on the highway.
