A Lula man driving a motorcycle was killed in a collision with a tractor trailer on Ga. 365 early this morning, authorities said.

Officials with the Georgia State Patrol said David Wilsdon, 21, died shortly after the 6:44 a.m. wreck at the intersection of 356 and Ramsey Road.

Wilsdon was southbound on a Honda CRB 600 when he collided with a northbound tractor-trailer driven by 45-year-old Jeffrey Perry of Sylvania.

Perry's truck was turning left onto Ramsey Road at the time of the collision, officials said.
Perry was not injured in the accident.

No charges have been file pending investigation of the accident. The state patrol specialized crash reconstruction team was investigating.

I'll bet $50 he wasnt wearing a helmet or pads.

sorry you lose, helmets are mandatory in ga. and it was a crotch rocket. the spot is a left turn towards an industrial park, so the on aproach is a rise over a hill, no traffic light to control 18 wheelers tryin to turn across an interstate w/ no visibilty from a dead start. you know how long it takes to get an 18 wheeler across two lanes and clear from a dead start, w/ traffic approaching at 75/80 miles an hour. poor guy never had a chance. only the third death at that intersection, i think you have to have at lease five before ga will install a traffic light.
