LAWRENCEVILLE - A 68 year old Dacula man lost his life in a traffic accident that had rescuers working for hours in Gwinnett County Thursday morning.

He identified the victim as Anvir Karim. He died at the hospital.
The truck driver, 34 year old Latora Barrett of Columbia, South Carolina, was not hurt, according to police.
