A Flintstone, Ga., man died this morning while trying to outrun Walker County deputies on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
It happened just after 4 a.m., according to a report from the Georgia State Patrol. Alan Board, 47, of Flintstone, was apparently involved in a domestic dispute sometime earlier in the evening. Later, deputies attempted to chase Mr. Board. He fled south on Hwy. 193, according to the report.
“He lost control of the vehicle, overturned, struck a stop sign, ejecting the driver, and then struck a yield sign,” the preliminary report reads. “The vehicle then came to rest in a field.”
That fatal crash happened at the intersection of Hwy. 193 and Chattanooga Valley Road just south of the Tennessee state line. Mr. Board was pronounced dead.
