A 25-year-old woman has been charged with second-degree vehicular homicide in connection with a Saturday night crash that claimed the life a motorcyclist.
Marian J. Anwar of Estates Path also faces a charge of making an improper left turn, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff's report.
Steven Terry Hitt, 49, of Castleberry Road died as a result of injuries suffered when his motorcycle hit the sport utility vehicle Anwar was driving.
The collision, which was the second fatal wreck of the week in Forsyth County and fourth this month, occurred about 6:15 p.m. Saturday on Castleberry Road, just southwest of Cumming.
The report said Hitt, who was traveling north on his 1985 Honda CB 650, collided with the 2007 Suzuki Vitara when Anwar attempted to make an illegal U-turn at Castleberry and Hutchinson roads. Hitt’s motorcycle struck the driver’s side door.
Hitt, Anwar and her passenger, 50-year-old Mona Samir Wilson of Cumming, were taken to Northside Hospital-Forsyth for treatment, authorities said.
Hitt was later flown to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, where he died Sunday afternoon.
Funeral services for Hitt, whose obituary said he had owned a barbershop for 20 years, are scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday at Ingram Funeral Home.
Immediate survivors include his two children, mother and brother.
