The Georgia State Patrol has identified the person killed in a head-on collision Sunday in Stephens County as 44-year-old James Kelley of Eastanollee. Kelley was driving a Kawasaki motorcycle on State Route 106 south of Toccoa when a Ford F150 crossed the center line and struck the motorcycle head-on, state troopers say.
The 44-year-old Kelley was thrown fifty feet into a ditch. He died at the scene, says GSP Post 7 Commander Donnie Sadler. A small fire broke out after the crash.
The pickup truck driver, 77-year-old Jane Pulliam of Toccoa, sustained apparent minor injuries in the wreck. Charges are pending against her.
The wreck was reported at 4:16 p.m. on March 26 near New Hope Road. The fatal crash shut down the highway near the accident site for several hours.
Investigators with GSP’s Troop B Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team (SCRT) are assisting with the investigation.
