A person seriously injured in a predawn wreck Friday on a Gwinnett County interstate has died, police said.

The single-vehicle wreck happened about 4:30 a.m. on I-985 northbound just north of I-85.

Gwinnett police said one person was taken to a local hospital with critical injuries, and two other people were transported with non-life threatening injuries.

The critically injured person later died. That person's name has was not immediately available.

Last Friday afternoon, a Lawrenceville couple was killed in a multi-vehicle wreck on I-985 south under the Buford Drive (Ga. 20) overpass, police said.

Stephen Scott, a 38-year-old truck driver from Lithonia, was charged with following too closely and two counts of second degree vehicular homicide in the crash that killed 60-year-old Donna Kesse and her husband, John Kesse, 62.

Traffic was slowed in the right-hand lane when the box truck driven by Scott slammed into the rear of a gray Nissan Altima driven by Donna Kesse, police said. The truck and Nissan went on to hit a blue Dodge Ram pickup truck and a maroon Saturn minivan towing a trailer with an ATV on it.
