A Tennessee man was killed in a motorcycle accident in Hardin County Friday.
Kentucky State Police Post Four says troopers responded to the intersection of Bardstown Road and Botto Avenue around 1 p.m. August 11. Troopers had been informed of a motorcycle traveling east at a high rate of speed on Bardstown Road, then were told by the Elizabethtown Police Department that the motorcycle had collided with a concrete culvert at the intersection.
The operator of the motorcycle was identified as 29-year-old Nicholas Carr of Chestnutt Mound, Tennessee. He was pronounced dead at the scene by the Hardin County Coroner’s Office.
The preliminary investigation revealed that about thirty minutes prior to the accident, Carr’s motorcycle had been seen traveling north on Interstate 65 near mile marker 87 by a KSP Post Three trooper. The trooper had been unable to pursue the motorcycle due to the high rate of speed.
KSP Post Four’s investigation of the crash is ongoing.
