A man was in police custody last weekend after crashing his ATV into a lawman enforcing a statewide curfew in Atlanta, Georgia. The Encounter, which left a motorcycle cop seriously injured, played out on Saturday night, May 30, and needs the expertise of a drunk driving attorney.

Police reported the ATV-motorcycle wreck moments before 10:30 p.m.on Ted Turner Drive. It involved a group of officers setting up a road diversion on the roadway and an allegedly intoxicated all-terrain vehicle operator.

Preliminary investigations indicated that an ATV, driven by Avery Goggans, 42, was speeding on Ted Turner when he struck the officer. According to the reports, Officer Maximillian Brewer was standing near his bike at the time and did not receive a direct hit in the ATV-motorcycle crash.

The incident left Brewer with major injuries in his legs. The medical team transported the officer to Grady Hospital not long after the crash. The Atlanta Police Department confirmed in a statement that the officer underwent hours of surgery at the facility, and was now convalescing at the intensive care unit of the health care facility.

Meanwhile, Goggans sustained only minor injuries in the collision. Investigators determined he was under the influence at the time of the mishap. They booked him on suspicion of DUI, serious injury by vehicle, reckless driving, and possession of marijuana. He also faces charges for multiple traffic violations.

Anyone involved in a DUI-related traffic accident can contact a drunk driving attorney for representation in due time.
