In a second fatal motorcycle wreck from the weekend, an 18-year-old Lilburn man was killed early Saturday when his motorcycle collided with a pickup truck at the intersection of Lawrenceville Highway and Bethesda School Road, police said.

The initial investigation suggests Stephan Ash was driving his 1996 Honda CBR600F motorcycle at a high rate of speed, southbound on Lawrenceville Highway, when he ran a red light, according to a news release.

Ash collided with a 2000 GMC Jimmy that Adam Mercer was driving. Mercer, 30, of Duluth, was uninjured.

Gwinnett police said while it appears Ash was at fault, an investigation was continuing.
