Tift County, GA (September 6, 2025) – A tragic motorcycle accident in Tift County claimed the life of a local man on Thursday afternoon, September 4.
The fatal collision occurred around 1:12 p.m. at the intersection of Georgia Highway 35 (GA-35) and Kell Road. Investigators said a 2018 BMW X5 attempted to turn left onto GA-35 and entered the path of a northbound 2024 Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The BMW struck the motorcycle on its left side, throwing the rider violently onto the highway.
The motorcyclist, identified as 59-year-old Adam Caseres of Tifton, sustained critical injuries. Emergency responders arrived quickly and began life-saving measures. Caseres was placed in an ambulance bound for Tift Regional Hospital, but tragically, he died on the way.
The driver of the BMW was not injured in the crash. Both vehicles came to rest near the point of impact. The scene was closed off for several hours as investigators worked to reconstruct the incident.
The Georgia State Patrol is leading the investigation to determine the cause of the crash.
We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Adam Caseres during this heartbreaking time.
