Cobb Police said Thursday that a motorcyclist was seriously injured this morning in a crash with a car at the intersection of Barrett Parkway and Bells Ferry Road.
Lt. Joseph McCloskey said in a news release that Zachary Newsome, 28 of Cartersville, was taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital.
Police said the crash took place at 9:22 a.m. when a black 2004 Buick Rainer driven by Gloria Kenny, 63, of Marietta, was traveling west on Piedmont Road when she approached the intersection of Bells Ferry Road.
