A man was killed while he was trying to cross Ga. 316 near Williams Farm Drive on Wednesday afternoon, Gwinnett County police said.
The victim, identified as 37-year-old Sonfa Turay, was standing on the grass median when he darted in front of a car, according to a Gwinnett traffic report. The car swerved to avoid hitting Turay, who ran back to the median.
As a second car approached, police said Turay ran in front of that car. The driver, unable to brake or steer in time, hit and killed Turay.
