South Georgia motorcyclists pay tribute to teen crash victim in Dougherty County
ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) – Motorcyclists from all over south Georgia came together to remember the teenager killed in a traffic accident Feb. 17.
18-year-old Cameron Nichols died after Albany Police said his motorcycle collided with a car when he failed to yield.
Over ten motorcycle clubs from around south Georgia met up at Hall & Hall Funeral Home on Feb. 22 to escort Cameron Nichols to his final resting place at Hillcrest Cemetery in Sylvester.
Those closest to Cameron say he loved motorcycles and was an avid rider.
“It definitely means a lot,” said Marvin Thomas Jr., the vice president of Viper Unit Motorcycle Club. “It shows that we all can come together no matter who you are or what you ride. It’s a very sad occasion, but it just brings awareness to the community.”
This accident was one of two fatal motorcycle crashes that happened in the same week. Both incidents involved young men in the Albany area. Local motorcyclists are urging vehicles to be mindful of bikes sharing the road.

Sources: Georgia State landing new defensive coordinator from ACC champs
Dell McGee’s defensive staff overhaul as he enters Year 3 atop the Georgia State program is getting its most significant piece of the puzzle, FootballScoop has learned.
McGee is hiring Cam Clark, a senior analyst on Duke coach Manny Diaz’s 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Champions staff, to run the Georgia State defense, sources tell FootballScoop.
It’s a notable hire for McGee, who is seeking to turn around Georgia State after going just 4-20 in his first two seasons at the helm.
While Clark arrives at Georgia State after assisting the Duke Blue Devils offense, his background is in defensive coaching.
He served two years as defensive coordinator at Football Championship Subdivision program Western Illinois, and he also ran the defense at Lamar University. Additionally, Clark was defensive coordinator at Georgia prep powerhouse Thomas County Central High School.
A former star player at Harding University, Clark obtained his master’s degree from Auburn University, where he served as a graduate assistant.
He has additional Football Bowls Subdivision experience from coaching under both Hugh Freeze and Gus Malzahn while serving on their respective staffs at Arkansas State.
