Gwinnett Police report that Brandon Roy, 38, of McDonough, died on scene as a result of the injuries sustained in the crash Monday.

Police have identified the motorcyclist who was killed in a five-vehicle crash Monday on Beaver Ruin Road in unincorporated Norcross.

Motorcyclist Brandon Roy, 38, of McDonough, died on scene as a result of the injuries sustained in the crash, according to a press release from Gwinnett County Police.

The preliminary investigation revealed the driver of a red BMW was traveling west in the left turn on Beaver Ruin Rd. at the I-85 bridge. Four other drivers, one of them Roy, was stopped for the traffic light in the left turn lane.

The driver of the BMW failed to stop and crashed into the stationary vehicles, causing a chain reaction accident, says the release. Charges are pending against Kenneth Griffin, 42, of Dacula, the driver of the BMW.

Three other drivers were transported to Gwinnett Medical Center with non-life threatening emergencies. One driver was not injured.

evidently just another low-information group. what they need to be focusing on is this: Did youRead More know that in all of the shootings, that the shooters were on one or more of these drugs? Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall, Prozac? http://www.antidepressantsfacts.com/2000-05-16-School-Shootings-Psychotropic-Drugs.htm CT Massacre: Therapists laying low on antidepressants because pharma industry owns them (M. Savage) Again... all of the recent shooters have been on these.... it ruins their brains... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTRqgWpjuLY http://youngpatriots.com/2013/01/school-shooters-and-the-pharmaceuticals/ http://www.policeone.com/active-shooter/articles/2058168-Lt-Col-Dave-Grossman-to-cops-The-enemy-is-denial/ and the CT shooter violated no less than 43 State, local and Federal laws before he fired the first shot at the school.." So tell me again how more gun laws would have made a difference in the tragedy in CT????

This touches one of the problems with a Fri pick up schedule. Folks who take weekend trips areRead More caught with either leaving the cans out or missing out by not putting their trash out. Since homeowners have zero choices under our government mandated trash plan to pay in advance for service without the ability to change carriers with different pick up dates, leaving the cans out is the results. IF the new city can change our pickup day to Mon or Tue this problem would be stopped or reduced

This is one of those "government mandated" services that actually are worth while. ImagineRead More 5 different garbage collectors going around PC every week stopping at every 5th home. But perhaps the city will attempt to get earlier in the week service for us. My household has good relations with our neighbors and they are more than happy to do the chore for us, as we they.

It's my understanding that a Monday or Tuesday pickup day is one of the stipulations in the RFP theRead More city sent out. You can review the RFP on the city's website.
