Motorcyclist Injured in Hall County Accident
The motorcyclist has been identified as Bryce Allen Scanlon, 33, of Flowery Branch, who suffered serious injuries including a spinal fracture.
Bryce Allen Scanlon, 33, of Flowery Branch, was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash on Friendship Road in Hall County on November 9, according to the Hall County Sheriff's Office.
How the Friendship Road Crash Unfolded
Deputies and Accident Investigation Unit investigators were sent to Friendship Road at Hog Mountain Road at about 10:45 a.m. The sheriff's office said the pickup driver, Biff Allen Mossman, 62, of Flowery Branch, was heading east in a Ford F350 and trying to turn left onto Hog Mountain Road. Deputies said he stopped suddenly in the roadway because of a bobtail semi-truck, and Scanlon's westbound Honda CBR 500 hit the pickup. The impact threw Scanlon from the motorcycle, which then struck a Chevrolet Silverado stopped in the eastbound lanes. Scanlon was seriously hurt and has a spinal fracture. The sheriff's office said the drivers of the pickup and the Silverado reported no injuries.
What Comes Next After the Friendship Road Collision
Deputies said Mossman was taken to the Hall County Jail on Tuesday. The sheriff's office said he is charged with felony serious injury by vehicle, and the charges also include reckless driving, failing to yield on a left turn, obstructing the highway and not obeying a traffic control device. Authorities have not said whether a judge has set bond. No updated medical condition for Scanlon has been released. The eastbound lanes were shut for a little over an hour.
