The Georgia State Patrol is continuing to investigate a Montgomery County crash, which caused one motorcyclist to be airlifted to Macon while in critical condition on Wednesday, September 20.

According to the preliminary crash report, a vehicle was traveling south on Third Street and stopped at the intersection of State Route 30 in Mount Vernon. A motorcycle was traveling west on State Route 30 and approaching Third Street, when the vehicle traveling south failed to yield to the motorcycle, and began to turn left onto State Route 30.

The motorcycle skidded and struck the front of the vehicle, causing the vehicle to come to a controlled rest facing southeast in the eastbound lane of State Route 30, and the motorcycle to travel off the south side of the roadway, overturn, and come to a final uncontrolled rest facing east.

The motorcyclist was thrown from the bike, and suffered serious injury, causing him to be airlifted to Macon to receive medical treatment.

The identities of the drivers and further information regarding the accident have not been released, as the crash is still being investigated.
