A Gwinnett County man was killed in a crash Tuesday afternoon after he was ejected from his car, according to an accident report.

Raymound Taylor, 23, of Lawrenceville, was found lying in the road just feet from his car when police arrived to the scene, the report indicated. He was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.

Taylor was traveling north on Bethesda Church Road when he tried to turn along a curve and lost control of his 2000 Ford Explorer, police said. He was ejected from the SUV, which rolled over several times and landed the opposite side of the road.

Taylor was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville where he was pronounced dead.

No other details were released.
