(November 23, 2010 at 1024 hours, case #10-111798)  Gwinnett County Police Officers responded to a traffic accident at the intersection of S.R. 20 (Grayson Highway) and Webb Gin House Road which is in unincorporated Lawrenceville.  The responding officers discovered a three vehicle accident at the scene, with one driver deceased as a result of the accident.  The decedent, Pearl Biggers (91 y.o. female) was driving a white PT Cruiser north on S.R. 20.  According to witnesses, the PT Cruiser ran a red light at the intersection of S.R. 20 and Webb Gin House Road.  The PT Cruiser was struck on the side by a black Mercedes passenger car with a green light, which was turning left from Webb Gin House Road on to S.R. 20.  This caused the PT Cruiser to cross the median into oncoming traffic on S.R. 20.  The PT Cruiser struck a third vehicle (a silver Toyota Land Cruiser) head-on.  The driver of the Land Cruiser was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.  The driver of the Mercedes was not injured.

Upon investigation it was determined that the decedent was not wearing her seat belt at the time of the accident.  The Gwinnett County Fire Department and a Gwinnett County Medical Examiner responded to the scene, where Biggers was pronounced dead.  At this time it is not known if Biggers had any medical conditions that may have been a factor.  Drugs and alcohol are not thought to be a factor at this time.
