In Lowndes County, a school bus and motorcycle accident has left one man injured, according to WCTV.tv. The biker, 22-year-old Arrington Perry, was struck by a school bus on Skipper Bridge Road.

The bus driver, 78-year-old Mae White, has reportedly been suspended pending further investigation by the school system.
No children were in the bus at the time of the accident, and the motorcycle rider was transported to a local hospital after paramedics arrived. In the immediate aftermath of the crash, the victim could communicate, but was bleeding from the mouth and complaining of pain in his stomach. His condition is unknown at this time.
School bus and motorcycle accidents involve different areas of Georgia personal injury law, some of which can be complicated for laypersons and attorneys inexperienced in handling these specific claims. School bus crashes are a type of commercial vehicle accident, which often involves investigating the organization that owns the vehicle involved in the accident. If a company is negligent in allowing a driver to operate a vehicle or failed to follow government regulations, it may share in the liability for the accident. Additionally, motorcycle accident cases benefit from the experienced of an attorney familiar with Georgia motorcycle accident lawsuits and insurance matters.
