Arrested: Man Who Allegedly Ran Over Motorcyclist Lying in Roadway

Gwinnett Police have arrested the man they believe struck and killed a fallen motorcyclist in a hit-and-run accident last month near Buford.

Jacob O’Reilly, 24, of Auburn, faces a list of charges, including vehicular homicide, stemming from the July 26 accident on Gravel Springs Road (Ga. Hwy 324) at Camp Branch Road, where he allegedly ran over Scott Moseley, 24. Moseley had been lying injured in the road after he wrecked his motorcycle around 1 a.m.

Police said witness accounts and evidence indicated a second vehicle struck and killed him, then drove away.

From Gwinnett Police:

“On August 2, 2015, officers from the Accident Investigation Unit, DUI Task Force, and K9 Unit conducted a road check at Camp Branch Road and Gravel Springs Road. Officers also checked nearby businesses, apartment complexes and neighborhoods. The objective was to identify witnesses of the fatal hit and run and by chance, locate the suspect vehicle. Shortly after midnight, the lead investigator for the accident located the suspect vehicle parked at the Mall of Georgia. The owner, Jacob O’Reilly, (24yo) was identified and interviewed. His vehicle was impounded. O’Reilly was arrested at his home in Auburn.”

O’Reilly has been charged with homicide by vehicle, hit and run causing serious injury/death, and failure to yield right of way.

He is being held without bond in the Gwinnett County jail.

Investigators believe Moseley was making a left turn from southbound Camp Branch Road onto Gravel Springs Road when he struck the median, and was ejected off his motorcycle. This is an area in unincorporated Gwinnett County located east of the Mall of Georgia and just north of Interstate 85.

Moseley was struck while lying in the roadway; he died from the second collision, police said.
