Motor Vehicle Fatality
(Monday 05/30/05 @ approximately 01:30AM) Investigators in the Accident Investigation Unit of the Gwinnett County Police Department are currently investigating a motor vehicle fatality that occurred on Simonton Road near Madison Chase Way, which is located in the Lawrenceville area of Gwinnett County.

A 2004 Chevrolet Malibu was traveling east on Simonton road. The driver failed to negotiate the curve, and lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle ran off the roadway, striking several objects off the roadway.

The vehicle was driven by a 16-year-old male, and occupied by his two sisters, a 13-year-old female in the front passenger seat, and a 15-year-old female in the right rear seat. All three siblings reside in Lawrenceville. After the collision, both front seat occupants had no complaints of injury. The rear passenger was transported to Gwinnett Medical Center with life threatening injuries. The 15-year-old female was later pronounced deceased at the hospital, as a result from the injuries she received in the collision.

Both front seat occupants were properly wearing their seat belts. Preliminary investigation indicates the rear passenger was not wearing her seatbelt. The driver of the vehicle is cooperating fully with investigators. Preliminary investigation indicates speed and adverse driving conditions are the major factors in this incident.

As with any motor vehicle fatality, charges are always possible. However, this investigation is ongoing, and whether charges are forthcoming will be determined after further investigation.

It's sad. When I was in school every year there was atleast 1 person killed in a car wreck, usually more. No matter how they restrict drivers licenses, teach drivers ed, or have survivors come talk about it, there will always be someone who doesn't listen. It happens not only with teenagers, but also grown adults. They just don't get the medias attention like a teenager does.

Teens crashes rate higher than adult, and they are far more inexperienced. Driver eds, and the requirements are all bullshit. How many parents usually sit with them and teach them for the required hours?Only a few.

Raise the minimum age to 18 is the only way.
