According to the Georgia State Patrol, on Tuesday around 12:31 p.m., two vehicles were in a crash, injuring three people and killing a teenager. Christhian Alejandro Gil Bermudez, 17 of Duluth, was identified as the victim who was fatally injured.
The accident happened when the Dodge Charger Bermudez was riding in was traveling north on Patrick Mill Road. The teenage driver lost control and the car spun around, going outside of its lane.
