HALL COUNTY, Ga. - A motorcyclist was killed in a crash Tuesday morning at a busy Hall County intersection, and the driver of a pickup truck is now facing charges.
What we know:
The Hall County Sheriff’s Office says the collision happened around 7:05 a.m. at Ga. 365/Cornelia Highway and White Sulphur Road. Investigators identified the victim as 27-year-old Steven Patrick Cullen of Toccoa, who died at the scene.
According to a preliminary investigation, 25-year-old Nathan Michael Meyer of Warner Robins was driving a 2022 Dodge Ram northbound on Ga. 365 when he moved into a turn lane and attempted to turn left onto White Sulphur Road. Authorities say Meyer failed to yield and collided with Cullen, who was traveling southbound on a 2026 Honda CBR650 motorcycle.
Meyer and his passenger were not injured in the crash.
Investigators arrested Meyer at the scene and charged him with second-degree homicide by vehicle and failure to yield while turning left, both misdemeanors. He was taken to the Hall County Jail and later released Tuesday night after posting a $16,830 bond.
