A weekend wreck in Athens claimed the life of a 19-year-old from Nicholson, police say. Christian Williams was fatally injured in the wreck Saturday afternoon in the 4300 block of Atlanta Highway.
Athens-Clarke police say the initial investigation shows Williams was driving a Kawasaki motorcycle eastbound when he collided with a westbound Honda CRV that was turning left into the Sam’s Club parking lot.
Athens-Clarke EMS transported Williams to a local hospital where he died from his injuries.
The crash is still under investigation, according to ACCPD Lt. Shaun Barnett. This is the fifth fatal motor vehicle crash in Athens-Clarke County this year.
