Lilburn Youth Killed in Auto Mishap

Jimmy Davis, 15, of Lilburn was killed Friday in a
one-car crash two miles north of Lawrenceville on
U.S. 29, according to the Georgia State Patrol.

Davis was a passenger in a car driven by William
Glenn Robinson, 18, of Suwanee.

The state patrol report said the car went out of
control on a curve, skidded on wet pavement, hit
a utility pole and stopped in a pasture.  The
report said the car was traveling at a high rate
of speed.

Robinson and another youth, Harold Albert Williams,
19, of Winder, were injured in the mishap.

Robinson suffered a broken right leg and multiple
lacerations to his head and body.  Williams 
received a fractured jaw and multiple lacerations
to his body.

Davis was among 22 persons killed in Georgia
traffic accidents during the long Christmas
holidays.  Four Georgians were killed in out-
of-state accidents during the 78 hour weekend.
The state patrol had predicted 20 persons would
die during the holidays.  No one was injured in
several other accidents in the county investigated
by the State Patrol and the Gwinnett County Police
Department.
