A 27-year-old Athens man was seriously injured in a wreck on Skyline Drive in Toccoa.
Georgia State Patrol Post 7 released details of the Thursday accident late Friday. It happened around 11:30 a.m. on September 21.
According to the state patrol’s preliminary crash report, Austin Outz was traveling west on Skyline Drive, negotiating a curve “at a very high rate of speed.”
Outz lost control of the 2006 Honda CBR he was driving and ran off the north shoulder of the road. The motorcycle then struck a curve and traveled 96 feet airborne before landing in the yard of 896 Skyline Drive.
After impact, the bike traveled another 78 feet before coming to a final rest on its side.
Troopers say Outz was thrown from the motorcycle onto the driveway. He was airlifted to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville.
The state patrol says charges are pending.
