One Injured in Semi-truck Accident on Highway 316 in Gwinnett County, GA
Gwinnett County, GA -- March 7, 2023, one person was injured after an accident where a semi-truck crashed along Highway 316.
Investigators say that the incident happened at around 4:00 a.m. in the area of Dacula outside Lawrenceville.

According to preliminary statements, a semi-truck and another vehicle collided along westbound lanes, resulting in the passenger vehicle becoming trapped beneath the semi. As a result, one person had to be extricated from that vehicle with injuries believed to be serious. Reports did not say if anyone else was injured.
This soon after a serious commercial truck accident, it's not exactly unusual to see so few details available to the public. Any truck wreck is complex, but one of this severity will no doubt present unique challenges. That's something that really stood out to me when I saw photos of the scene. Accidents scenes that chaotic require proper tools and training, not to mention the time to utilize those resources to their fullest. I just hope authorities here are able to do so rather than having to juggle this incident with their other priorities. That's how things slip through the cracks, and there are no doubt folks here that deserve some answers.
