A Caledonia man died Saturday after his motorcycle collided with another vehicle on Highway 12 East.
John Bryant, 41, was pronounced dead at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle after the 2012 Harley Davidson motorcycle he was driving hit another automobile as it was turning off the road near the area’s Nissan dealership, Lowndes County Coroner Greg Merchant said.
A second passenger on the motorcycle — Bryant’s 12-year-old son — was also transported to the hospital and later airlifted to Jackson for treatment, Merchant said. At press time, his condition was unknown.
The other vehicle’s driver went to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Merchant said.
