Overview
- The Atlanta Police Department posted the incident report and 911 audio from the August 20 collision that fatally injured the former Mastodon guitarist.
- Documents describe an SUV turning left at Memorial Drive SE and Boulevard SE and striking Hinds as he rode his Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
- The driver told officers she was positive the light was green, while a witness said the light was red and others said Hinds appeared to be traveling fast.
- A 911 caller described Hinds being thrown into the air by the impact; a responding officer noted he was breathing with visible injuries before he was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he later died.
- Police say the driver stayed at the scene and cooperated; a memorial walk was held in Atlanta, and a celebration of life is planned with obituary guidance noting donations to the Alabama School of Fine Arts.
