Police said Andy Davis was on his motorcycle about 12:35 a.m. Saturday when he was hit from behind by an allegedly drunk pickup truck driver at a traffic light on Jodeco Road in Henry County, according to the Georgia State Patrol.

Davis was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in grave condition, and Henry County Coroner Donald Cleveland told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution he was advised by the hospital that Davis died at 9:50 p.m. Sunday.
