Gwinnett County police are searching for a driver who seriously injured a motorcyclist last week before leaving the scene.
The hit-and-run occurred about 6:45 a.m. June 10 at the intersection of Duluth Highway and Sugarloaf Parkway in unincorporated Lawrenceville, Gwinnett police spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera said Thursday in a news release.
According to police, a red or maroon Ford Mustang struck the Kawasaki motorcycle while making a right turn from Duluth Highway onto Sugarloaf Parkway. The biker, 30-year-old Kelby Smith, was pushed across several lanes and was partially ejected from the motorcycle, according to a Gwinnett police incident report.
Following the crash, witnesses said the driver of the older model Mustang sped off toward I-85. According to police, the Mustang has black stripes on its side and front-end damage from the crash.
Smith was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
