Hoschton man killed in 1-85 motorcycle accident
A HOSCHTON man was
killed Wednesday, Sept. 14.
on Interstate 85 when he lost
control of his motorcycle after
hitting a piece of tire tread,
according to the Gwinnett
County Police Department.
Lonnie Cross, 35, was
traveling northbound on 1-85
in the left lane at the 1-985
split when his motorcycle
hit a tire tread and laid the
motorcycle down on the
roadway, according to a press
release.
Cross was separated from
the motorcycle and he came
to rest in the path of a tractor-
trailer truck, which was
unable to avoid hitting Cross
and ran over him, according
to police.
Cross was taken to
Gwinnett Medical Center,
where he later died from his
injuries.
All traffic on 1-85 was
diverted to 1-985 northbound
for a period of time while
investigators were at the
scene. There are no charges
pending in the case.
Multiple business burglaries reported in Braselton last week
BY KERRI TESTEMENT
FOUR BRASELTON businesses were
burglarized last week — and police
don’t have any witnesses or suspects in
the cases, according to an investigator.
The burglaries occurred between
Tuesday, Sept. 13 and Saturday, Sept.
17, in businesses located in or near
shopping centers in the town limits.
“We don't have good leads at this
time," said J.D. Gille, a detective for the
Braselton Police Department.
The burglaries took place at Second
Impressions consignment sales on
Ga. Hwy. 53; and Divine Health Care
Supplies, Biba’s Italian Restaurant and
Johnny’s New York Style Pizza, all
located on Spout Springs Road.
The unknown suspects apparently
gained entry to the businesses through
rear doors of the businesses, although
police wrote in some incident reports
that there were no signs of forced entry
at a couple of businesses.
In all of the cases, police were called
to the businesses when an alarm sound
ed or after the first-arriving employees
in the morning noticed their stores in
disarray.
More than $200 in cash was taken
from two of the businesses’ cash regis
ters and a third reported that just $8 in
change was stolen.
Divine Health Care Supplies reported
that more than $10,300 in medical
equipment — including apnea monitors
and CPAP machines — and a laptop
were taken, according to an incident
report.
While investigating a break-in at
Second Impressions, Braselton offi
cers noticed that three other doors in
the shopping center were forced open,
although nothing was stolen.
Investigator Gille said police don’t
have any witnesses in the burglaries and
there was limited, clear video surveil
lance of the businesses.
