GSP: Teen bicyclist from Clayton seriously hurt when struck by truck

A Rabun County teen was airlifted to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Friday with serious injuries after his bicycle was struck by a truck near Clayton Church of God.

The 13-year-old, whose name has not been released, was leaving the church driveway on Stekoa Falls Road in Clayton at John English Road just after 5 p.m. when he failed to yield and his 2022 Dynacraft was struck in the left side by a Chevrolet pickup truck, throwing him into the road.

That’s according to Sgt. L.E. Mize of Georgia State Patrol Post 7 Toccoa.

The driver of the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, 24-year-old Frank Russell Cummings of Clayton, was not hurt and faces no charges, Mize said.
