A Flowery Branch man died Thursday night in a motorcycle crash in the 5200 block
of Ponderosa Farm Road.
Patrol deputies and an investigator with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) Accident
Investigation Unit (AIU) arrived at the scene just after 8:00 and found the victim in the
wood line on the east side of the roadway. Daniel Mark Brumbalow, 41, was pronounced dead at the scene.
“The initial investigation determined Brumbalow was traveling northbound on Ponderosa Farm Road and failed to properly negotiate a curve,” sheriff’s office spokeswoman B.J. Williams said. “The motorcycle skidded off the east side of the road, striking a culvert. The motorcycle then vaulted in the air and into the wood line, hitting a tree.”
Ponderosa Farm Road was closed for just under two hours during the course of the investigation.
