A Newnan man died after he crashed his motorcycle into a mailbox over the weekend, with investigators suspecting alcohol was involved.

About 8:45 p.m. Saturday, 29-year-old Joshua Berryman was driving his 2006 Harley Davidson FXDBI north along Baker Road, according to the Georgia State Patrol. Near the road’s intersection with Brooks Place, the motorcycle left the road, entered a ditch and struck a mailbox, the GSP said. The collision ejected Berryman from the bike, and he traveled about 30 feet away from the motorcycle before coming to a stop.

First responders took Berryman to Piedmont Newnan Hospital, where he died, the GSP said. Troopers said alcohol was involved in the incident but did not provide further specifics.

The investigation is ongoing.
