Motorcyclist dies following crash with SUV on GA-101 in Polk County

POLK COUNTY, GA – A 30-year-old man died last Thursday, June 20, when his motorcycle collided with another vehicle on State Route 101 in Polk County, reports WSB-TV Atlanta 2.

Officials have not confirmed the exact location of the fatal wreck, but family friends of the victim said he was coming home from work on a motorcycle to exchange for a car in order to pick up his 6-year-old daughter.

According to Georgia State Patrol, at one point, a southbound Jeep Cherokee made a left turn in the direct path of the motorcyclist, causing him to crash the bike into the Jeep’s right side.
