The accident occurred on Oct. 24, 2012, when Kalka & Baer’s client was in the front passenger seat of a car that his son was driving. The man’s son was driving southbound on Grayson New Hope Road, approaching Gordie Yancey Drive in Gwinnett County. At this time, a female driver who was traveling eastbound on Gordie Yancey Drive stopped at the intersection’s stop sign and made a left-hand turn. That driver--a female driver who was in her early 20s--failed yield to oncoming traffic, which caused her to turn left directly in front of the vehicle that the client was in. As a result of this action, the two vehicles got into a collision. The female driver was cited for a violation of O.C.G.A. §40-6-71, which requires drivers who are turning left to yield to oncoming traffic.
