A 60-year-old Athens man was injured Monday afternoon when his motorcycle struck the side of a pickup truck making an illegal U-turn on Riverbend Road, causing him to be ejected from the motorcycle with his head going through the driver’s side window, Athens-Clarke County police said.
The biker was taken to Athens Regional Medical Center for treatment, police said, and Jimi Lee Lawson, 25, of Lawrenceville was cited for the illegal U-turn.
