A motorcyclist who crashed overnight in Cobb County after leading Georgia State Patrol troopers on a chase has died.
State Patrol spokesman Gordy Wright told the AJC that the motorcyclist, 24-year-old Anthony Todd Cleveland of Acworth, died at WellStar Kennestone Hospital after running off Baker Road near Kennesaw and wrecking.
The trooper began chasing the man around 1 a.m. in Bartow County but lost visual contact with the bike.
"A local officer then had and lost visual contact before the crash," Wright said.
He said there was no pursuit in progress at the time that Cleveland lost control of the 2006 Suzuki K6R in a curve and hit a tree.
