Driver killed and three inside home hurt when car crashes into it, Georgia cops say
Three people inside a house were injured and a driver was killed when a car crashed into the side of a Georgia home, police say.
The driver, a 36-year-old man, was traveling west toward an intersection in Buford, when police say he “failed to maintain the lane” and drove off the road and into a yard.
Gwinnett County police said in an email that the driver then hit a tree in the yard before slamming into the house.
Debris from the tree and the car flew into three other vehicles in the driveway, police said.
Three people inside the house when the car struck were injured in the collision, police said. Police did not say how severe their injuries were.
The driver, identified as Jordan Gonzalez, was killed, police said, and his family had been notified.
