Megan Smith, 24, of Powder Springs was traveling westbound on Windy Hill Road near the intersection of Atlanta Road on her Suzuki sport bike when the driver of a Toyota Corolla began turning into a parking lot. Smith’s motorcycle clipped the vehicle’s bumper, which sent her into a 60-foot rollover, investigators said. Smyrna police said the driver of the Corolla was cited for failing to yield while turning left.
Smith’s mother, Kay Peterson, reported in a comment on this website that she underwent surgery June 7 to repair fractures in her right leg and a dislocated ankle. In an email, Peterson said it will be another 10 weeks before her daughter can put weight on her leg and doctors estimate it will be another six months to a year before she fully recovers.
