Woman Stabbed, Crashes Car Multiple Times: Gwinnett Police

LILBURN, GA — A woman in Gwinnett County crashed her car several times after apparently being stabbed, according to police.

Gwinnett County Police were called shortly after 8 a.m. to Oak Road in Lilburn. There, they found a blue car in the middle of the road and paramedics treating a woman. Investigators learned the woman had been driving down the road when she stopped abruptly and was hit in the rear by another car.

After the accident, the woman pulled into a shopping center parking lot, then quickly back out onto the road where she again stopped her vehicle, got out covered in blood and began walking toward a patch of woods, said Gwinnett County Police spokesman Cpl. Deon Washington.

Before that, Washington said, the woman was involved in at least two other traffic accidents near the intersection of Five Forks Trickum Road and Oak Road.

A passing tow truck driver saw the woman covered in blood and stopped to help. Paramedics with Gwinnett Fire & Emergency Services also saw the woman and stopped to give medical aid. She was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center with what Washington called superficial stab wounds and is expected to survive.

Investigators were continuing to sort through details of the case early Thursday afternoon, trying to determine where and when the stabbing took place, why the woman crashed her car several times and why she stopped in the middle of the road.

The southbound lane of Oak Road was shut down Thursday morning as police investigated.
