BROOKS COUNTY, Ga. (WTXL)--A Brooks County man survives for more than a week in ditch, pinned underneath his motorcycle.
On Wednesday around 4:30 p.m., Brooks County authorities responded to a private driveway on Elliot Lane and found 63-year-old Roland Howard Goff's right leg pinned under the bike. The Georgia State Patrol arrived shortly thereafter. His friend, William Shultz, estimated he had been there for five days.
Shultz noticed he wasn't active on social media and decided to check on him.
Troopers say no one knew he was there because he doesn't have a cellphone or a mailbox, and his road dead ends.
Goff told them he was headed home on May 17 when he rode the Honda cruiser off his driveway.
Goff said it rained so he was able to drink water.
Doctors at South Georgia Medical Center told GSP Corporal Chris Kelch it's possible to survive eight days trapped in a ditch. Kelch says he was severely dehydrated. Kelch says Goff had sores and injuries to his right leg, but he's expected to be okay. We check with SGMC. Goff is in fair condition.
