A 23-year-old Blackshear man died from his injuries after the motorcycle he was riding was hit by another vehicle, the Georgia State Patrol said.
Isaiah Justice Bailey was traveling east riding a Kawasaki Vulcan on Ga. 520 near Sawdust Trail in eastern Ware County Saturday, May 16, when he was hit from behind at approximately 8:57 p.m., by a 2013 Toyota Tacoma driven by 24-year-old Austin Thomas Johnson of Pearson.
According to the report of GSP Trooper Dallas Harper, Bailey attempted to make a right turn onto Sawdust Trail from Ga. 520.
Johnson’s vehicle struck the rear of the motorcycle with its front end. Both came to an uncontrolled final rest on the right shoulder of Georgia 520 eastbound.
Bailey was transported by Ware County EMS to Memorial Satilla Health where he succumbed to his injuries, authorities said.
Johnson and his passenger, 20-year-old David Flanders, were not injured in the accident.
The GSP Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team (SCRT) is still investigating the accident.
