According to investigators, James W. Groover, of Powder Springs, was driving a 2007 Harley Davidson eastbound on Moon Road west of Florence Road just before 9 p.m. His motorcycle left the roadway as he was trying to negotiate a left curve. The motorcycle hit a mailbox in the 5300 block of Moon Road before coming to a stop in a neighboring front yard.
