GAINESVILLE - The Georgia State Patrol said a man and woman were killed on Georgia Highway 365 at White Sulphur Road Saturday morning when they were thrown from a motorcycle they were riding.<br />
<br />
The accident actually happened around 1 a.m., although the wreckage wasn't spotted by a Hall County Sheriff's Office deputy until daybreak. Sgt Anthony Coleman with the Georgia State Patrol said the area where the accident happened was in a dark part of the median, where passing motorists likely would not have noticed anything.<br />
<br />
"And, the grass in the median was a little bit higher, which also sort of kept anyone from seeing it," said Coleman.<br />
<br />
Coleman said investigators believe speed was a factor in the crash, and he said alcohol could have contributed, as well. He said investigators do not believe another vehicle was involved.<br />
<br />
The man has been identified as Derrick Lee Brinkley, the woman remains unidentified.<br />
