A Toccoa motorcyclist faces DUI and other charges after leading state troopers on a short chase after they tried to stop him, officials say.
The pursuit began shortly after 3:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon on US 76 in Rabun County. It ended when the Suzuki GSX-R600 ran into a car, injuring the biker, says Georgia State Patrol Post 7 Commander Donnie Sadler. He identifies the injured biker as 40-year-old Jason Hoyt Massey.
According to Sadler, the pursuit lasted approximately a quarter-mile before Massey crashed into a Ford Fusion as it attempted to turn left off of US 76. The driver of the car, Kayla McClain, 39, of Otto, North Carolina, was not injured.
Rabun County EMS transported Massey to a local hospital for treatment. Troopers charged him with DUI drugs (pending), fleeing and attempting to elude, and other traffic charges.
