Lawrenceville police said they received several calls around 6 p.m. about the crash on Buford Drive at Hurricane Shoals. The area is just south of University Parkway.
According to investigators, a vehicle was traveling north when it suddenly crossed into the southbound lanes and crashed into an SUV, killing that vehicle’s driver. The person’s identity was not released.
The driver of the at-fault vehicle, along with several passengers, were taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, officials said.
“Alcohol is suspected as a contributing factor, and charges are forthcoming,” police said.
