A 2011 military Humvee belonging to the United State Army, driven by 22 year-old Christopher Raine of Rhode Island was traveling west on US 60 and was making a left turn onto Highway 1882. The Hummer pulled into the path of a 2001 Yamaha motorcycle operated by 42 year-old Jesse Howard of Vine Grove.
