Vitale allegedly failed to yield while turning left onto Gaines Ferry Road, striking the left side of the motorcycle. Vitale then fled from the scene after the collision. The Flowery Branch Police Department located Vitale at a home in the area.

The Flowery Branch man was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville with suspected serious injuries after the wreck.

The Georgia State Patrol charged Vitale with duty to stop at an accident, failure to yield and failure to yield while turning left.
