A Flowery Branch man died Thursday evening in a motorcycle crash along the 5200 block of Ponderosa Farm Road in southeastern Hall County.
A press release from the Hall County Sheriff's Office says patrol deputies and an investigator with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) Accident Investigation Unit (AIU) arrived at the scene just after 8 p.m. to find the victim, identified as 41-year old Daniel Mark Brumbalow, dead at the scene along the east side of the roadway.
Sheriff's Office spokesperson B.J. Williams' release added that the initial investigation by the AIU investigator determined Mr. Brumbalow was traveling northbound on Ponderosa Farm Road and failed to properly negotiate a curve. The motorcycle skidded off the east side of the road, striking a culvert and then vaulted in the air and into the wood line, hitting a tree.
Ponderosa Farm Road was closed for just under two hours during the course of the crash scene investigation.
