A 13-year-old Clayton boy was seriously injured Saturday evening when he rode his bike into the path of a pickup truck, troopers say. Paramedics airlifted the boy to a children’s hospital in Atlanta for treatment.
The accident happened just after 5 p.m. on October 29 near the Clayton Church of God on Stekoa Falls Road.
According to the Georgia State Patrol, the teen was traveling north out of the church driveway attempting to cross over to John English Drive when he failed to yield. A Chevy Silverado traveling east on Stekoa Falls Road struck the bike, ejecting the boy onto the roadway.
The teen sustained visible injuries. He was transported to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Because of his age, his name is being withheld.
The collision did not injure the pickup truck driver, 24-year-old Frank Russell Cummings of Clayton. The state patrol says no charges will be filed against him.
