A tragic motorcycle accident has left a 19-year-old woman in critical condition. The incident took place in Powder Springs on Gaydon Road, near the intersection with Greenes Lane. The young rider was aboard a black 2025 Yamaha YZFR7 motorcycle, traveling eastbound when she lost control at a curve and was violently ejected, reported FOX 5 Atlanta.
The aftermath of such a loss of control led both the rider, and the motorcycle off the road, crashing into several trees before coming to rest on the roadside shoulder. This harrowing sequence of events unfolded just after 7:30 p.m. Sunday evening. Emergency services promptly arrived at the scene and rushed the unnamed victim to WellStar Kennestone Hospital, where she is fighting for her life in critical condition, according to 11Alive report.
