A Guyton man was killed Tuesday evening when he lost control of his motorcycle on Interstate 95.

Jonathan Holifield, 22, was pronounced dead at the scene just south of the Bryan-Chatham county line on I-95 north. The accident occurred at 6:38 p.m., according to the Georgia State Patrol.

A witness told troopers that two vehicles in the left lane moved into the middle lane, where Holifield was, and one of the vehicle struck Holifield’s motorcycle. But upon investigation, troopers found no evidence of damage to the left side of the motorcycle, which would have been hit by another vehicle moving into the center lane, and no evidence of such a collision on the roadway.

There were lane changes from the vehicles, and Holifield apparently took evasive action to avoid collision and subsequently lost control, according to the GSP. His motorcycle eventually landed on its right side in the left-hand lane, and Holifield was thrown from his seat.
