Brent Hinds police report released
On the night of August 20th, Brent Hinds passed away after reportedly being struck by an SUV while riding his motorcycle. The driver of the vehicle allegedly failed to yield at the intersection while making a left when they hit Hinds two miles outside of downtown Atlanta.
Now, the Atlanta Police Department has released their incident report, revealing new details about the accident.
According to the report, the driver who hit Hinds stayed at the scene and cooperated with investigators, telling police that she was “positive the light was green” when she turned.
One witness of the incident, however, told police that they looked at the light at the time of the accident and noted that it was red. They, along with a second witness, both claim that Hinds was “driving fast” when the collision occurred.
Brent Hinds 911 call is tragic
A 911 call from the night of the accident describes Hinds going “up in the air” the moment he was struck. The witness added that he spun “a couple of times. And then he fell. It looks like his left leg buckled over his right leg. I was two cars back, so I didn’t get to see the full impact, but I heard the impact and [saw Hinds] spinning.”
The officer who responded to the fatal crash wrote in their report: “At the moment I arrived on scene [Hinds] was breathing and moving with visible injuries to his head, arms and torso. He was transported … to Grady [Memorial Hospital] where he perished from his injuries.”
