A motorcyclist sustained serious injuries Sunday in a crash on Chase Road in Mt. Airy.
According to the Georgia State Patrol’s preliminary report, 27-year-old Jacob Lee of Cleveland was driving a GMC Sierra pickup truck on Chase Road. As he attempted to turn left onto Keller Road, Lee pulled in front of a Kawasaki KL650 driven by 30-year-old Christoph Gneiding of Cornelia, state troopers say.
Habersham County E-911 dispatched emergency personnel to the scene at 4:23 p.m. on April 16. Units arrived four minutes later and rushed Gneiding by ambulance to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville.
There were three passengers in the pickup at the time of the wreck: Gabriella Lee, 23, and Donald Arrowood, 62, both of Cleveland, and Mary Ledford, 44, of Martin.
The wreck did not injure anyone in the pickup, according to officials.
Troopers from Georgia State Patrol Post 7 in Toccoa investigated the crash. They say charges are pending against Lee.
The wreck shut down Chase Road and Keller at the intersection for nearly two hours as troopers investigated and crews cleared the scene. The road reopened at 6:15 p.m. Sunday.
