BUFORD - A Buford man was killed in an early morning car crash Wednesday on Shadburn Ferry Road near Buford Dam Road.
Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Michele Pihera identified the victim as 21-year-old Austin T. Grant. She said Grant was the only one involved in the crash; he was driving a 1999 Dodge Durango.
"The driver left the right side of the roadway and over-corrected, and when he over-corrected, he crossed back into oncoming traffic, struck a fence and then his vehicle continued on and struck a tree," said Pihera.
Grant was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, according to a police report.
Pihera said it appears alcohol and speed were contributing factors in the fatal crash; she said an investigation will continue.
