ORIGINAL STORY:
The Gwinnett County Police Department is investigating a motor vehicle accident that claimed the lives of three people in Peachtree Corners Sunday afternoon.
A press release from Gwinnett County Police late Sunday night says that just before 4:00 p.m., officers responded to an auto accident with a person trapped in a vehicle at Peachtree Corners Circle and Elmside Village Lane.
Investigators arrived to find the three victims deceased, with three additional people needing transport to local hospitals with injuries, one of which was listed as critical.
Descriptions of the vehicle involved, the cause for the fatal wreck and the identities of the victims involved have not been released, as Gwinnett officials have yet to contact the next of kin for the victims involved.
