According to GSP Sergent Robbie Scott he failed to negotiate a curve on Northside Drive, just past Martin Luther King Boulevard, due to the high rate of speed. He left the roadway and struck a parked car in the parking lot of Atlantic Tint.
Bulloch County EMS Paramedics transported the 34 year old male to EGRMC with serious injuries. He was later flown to Memorial Medical Center in Savannah. An updated condition was not available at the time of the story.
