One Dead, Several Injured In Lawrenceville Crash

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA -- Speed and alcohol were factors in a Lawrenceville car crash Wednesday night that left one person dead and several others, including a 1 year old, in serious condition, police say.

Shortly before 10 p.m., Gwinnett County Police responded to reports of a two-car accident at McKendree Church Road and McKendree Park Lane in Lawrenceville.

Investigators say a 2002 Honda Accord driven by Michael Schick, 26, failed to stay within its lane and skidded into the southbound lane of McKendree Church Road, where it struck a 2011 Toyota Camry being driven by Shana Fischer-Williams, 26.

It struck the Camry almost directly head-on, police say, killing a 29-year-old passenger in Fischer-Williams’ car. The victim has not been publicly identified, pending notification of family members.

All of the adults in the wreck, which included Schick’s passenger, 20-year-old Jessica Terracina, were transported to Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville.

A 1-year-old baby in Fischer-Williams’ car, Cameran Lowe, was taken to Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital in Atlanta.

The child was listed in serious condition, but police said everyone taken to the hospital is expected to survive.

No charges had yet been filed in the crash Thursday afternoon.
