A 13-year-old Lawrenceville boy has died after being hit by two cars Wednesday while bicycling along a Gwinnett County road.
The accident happened just after 2 p.m. Wednesday on Club Drive near Lawrenceville, Gwinnett police Cpl. Edwin Ritter said.
Ritter said Justin Shaw was riding his bicycle east on Woodstream Drive and intended to turn left onto Club Drive.
“The bicyclist was riding downhill as he approached the stop sign on Woodstream Drive,” Ritter said in an email.
He said Shaw didn’t stop for the stop sign, and entered Club Drive, where he was hit by a southbound Chevrolet Equinox.
The impact knocked Shaw into the path of a Honda Accord, which also struck the boy, according to Ritter.
Shaw was transported by ambulance to Gwinnett Medical Center, then flown to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston, where he died at 6:40 p.m.
Ritter said that while the investigation continues, the drivers of the Equinox and Honda are not expected to face charges.
