A tragic incident unfolded in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, when a high-speed crash claimed the lives of three individuals, including a 4-year-old girl, and left three others injured. The driver responsible for this devastating collision has been identified as 30-year-old Aaron Vaughn from Lawrenceville, who was behind the wheel of a yellow Camaro travelling at over 100 mph in a 45 mph zone.
The fatal crash occurred at the intersection of Peachtree Corners Circle and Elmside Village Lane on March 10, where Vaughn’s speeding Camaro collided with a BMW, leading to the deaths of the BMW’s occupants, 46-year-old Armas Harding and 46-year-old Laura Rueda from Brookhaven. The impact of the crash was severe, with both Harding and Rueda tragically losing their lives at the scene.
Vaughn was not alone in his vehicle at the time of the collision. He had three passengers in his Camaro, including a 28-year-old woman and his two young daughters, aged 5 and 6. While the children were wearing seatbelts, they were not secured in child safety seats as required by Georgia law, which mandates that children under 8 years old must be in appropriate seats based on their height and weight.
Tragically, Vaughn’s 5-year-old daughter, Aura Camarono, succumbed to her injuries at the hospital following the crash. The 28-year-old woman seated in the front of the vehicle remains hospitalized, while the condition of the 6-year-old daughter is currently unknown.
In light of this devastating incident, Vaughn has been charged with a slew of serious offences, including second-degree murder, three counts of first-degree homicide by vehicle, two counts of transporting children without proper restraints, as well as charges related to reckless driving and speeding. He was taken into custody and booked at the Gwinnett County Jail on March 22.
The community of Peachtree Corners and beyond has been left reeling from the tragic consequences of this high-speed crash, as the loss of innocent lives has cast a somber shadow over the area. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision continues, as authorities work to piece together the events leading up to this heartbreaking incident..
