Georgia State Patrol say a Gwinnett teen is facing vehicular homicide charges for a crash that killed an elderly couple.

Alen Beganovic, 17, was driving down McKendree Church Road on Saturday when police say he swerved to avoid a car sitting at a stop sign, ran that stop sign and then traveled across 5 lanes of traffic before hitting a Chevrolet carrying the couple. Police say he hit the driver’s side door sending the Chevrolet across two lanes and onto a curb.

Frankie Tuer, 80, was driving the Chevrolet. She was unresponsive when police arrived. Her husband, James Tuer, 83, was conscious, but seriously injured. They were both rushed to Gwinnett Medical Center. James Tuer died several hours later. Frankie Tuer died the next day.

Beganovic is charged with vehicular homicide, reckless driving, failure to obey stop sign and failure to maintain lane.
