Marietta motorcycle accident injures 19-year-old Kether Hernandez

MARIETTA, GA, (May 20, 2026) – A 19-year-old motorcyclist was seriously injured Wednesday night following a collision with a passenger vehicle at a Marietta intersection, according to police.

Authorities with the Marietta Police Department said the crash occurred shortly before 9:30 p.m. at Powder Springs Street and Sandtown Road when a 59-year-old driver attempted a left turn into a private driveway and struck Kether Hernandez, who was traveling southbound on a motorcycle.

Emergency responders provided immediate medical aid at the scene before transporting Hernandez to a nearby hospital with serious, potentially life-threatening injuries.

Police confirmed that no charges have been filed as the investigation remains ongoing.

The Marietta Police Department STEP Unit is continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the crash.


MOTORCYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION

Motorcyclists face significantly higher risks on public roadways due to limited physical protection compared to enclosed vehicles. Even low-speed collisions can result in severe or life-threatening injuries.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 83,000 motorcyclists were injured in traffic crashes in 2021, marking an increase from the previous year.

Candice Bond, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney, emphasized the importance of preserving evidence early through an independent investigation.

“In addition to a police report, an attorney will carefully review what may have contributed to the crash,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and national analyst with Accident Injury News.

She added that investigators often rely on accident reconstruction experts, witness statements, and vehicle data analysis to determine liability and ensure accountability.


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the injured victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal, noted that serious injuries can significantly disrupt daily life, affecting work, family responsibilities, and financial stability.

“It is vital for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, which allows them to negotiate with insurance companies on behalf of the client,” Formica said.

“Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts, but an attorney will advocate aggressively to ensure the injured party is treated fairly and receives appropriate compensation for their losses,” he added.
