LAWRENCEVILLE — A 21- year old Lawrenceville man died in a Sunday evening crash at the intersection of Lawrenceville Highway and Church Road..

According to the Gwinnett County Police Dept., shortly after 7:30 p.m. May 3, officers were dispatched to an injury crash at the intersection. One of the vehicles was found in the roadway, and the other vehicle was found up against a tree in the wood line.

According to the preliminary investigation, 21-year-old Josue Hernandez-Cano was traveling north on Lawrenceville Highway toward the city of Lawrenceville in a grey Infiniti G37.  Another driver was attempting to turn left from James Road onto Lawrenceville Highway northbound in a white Acura TSX. He had one passenger in the vehicle with him. 

As the vehicles approached each other, the driver of the Acura swerved to the left while Hernandez-Cano swerved to the right. Both vehicles eventually collided. The white Acura came to a rest in the roadway, while the grey Infiniti continued off the roadway and eventually struck a tree head-on at the intersection of Church Road. Hernandez-Cano later died as a result of his injuries in the collision. Neither the driver of the Acura nor his passenger had any significant injuries.
