Preliminary investigation indicates that Kenneth Griffin, 42, of Dacula, caused the five-vehicle crash that resulted in one fatality.
Charges are pending for 42-year-old Dacula resident Kenneth Griffin, a driver involved in a fatal car collision Monday on Beaver Ruin Road in unincorporated Norcross.
The preliminary investigation revealed that Griffin, who was driving a red BMW, was traveling west in the left turn on Beaver Ruin Rd. at the I-85 bridge. Four other drivers, one of them a motorcyclist, was stopped for the traffic light in the left turn lane.
The driver of the BMW failed to stop and crashed into the stationary vehicles, causing a chain reaction accident, says the release.
Motorcyclist Brandon Roy, 38, of McDonough, died on scene as a result of the injuries sustained in the crash, according to a press release from Gwinnett County Police. Three other drivers were transported to Gwinnett Medical Center with non-life threatening emergencies.

I arrived at the scene soon after it happened. I saw someone doing chest compressions on mr. Roy. I jumped out of my truck with my first aid kit. I pulled out my mouth to mouth CPR device and told him he needs oxygen. The man doing the compressions said don't do mouth to mouth ( he was doing the compressions correct but was ignorant to the fact that you need to give the victim two breaths after 100 compressions)! At that point the fire department arrived so I let them take charge. My prayers are with mr Roy's family!

Amazing. Unfortunately, clowns show up and start CPR with no training and begin to perform it that way because they saw it done that way on television.
