\nKentucky State Police responded to a single-vehicle collision in Hardin County Friday (08\/11) afternoon that resulted in a fatality. <\/p>\n
At approximately 1 p.m. EDT, Kentucky State Police Post 4 received a call in reference to a motorcycle traveling at a high rate of speed eastbound on Bardstown Road near the city limits of Elizabethtown. Moments later, Kentucky State Police received a call from the Elizabethtown Police Department stating the motorcycle had collided with a concrete culvert near the intersection of Bardstown Road and Botto Avenue.<\/p>\n
The preliminary investigation revealed that 29 year-old Nicholas Carr, of Chestnut Mound, TN, was operating a Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle eastbound on Bardstown Road at a high rate of speed when he lost control and ran off the roadway before striking a concrete culvert. Investigators learned 30 minutes before, a motorist on I-65 had called Kentucky State Police Post 3 in Bowling Green about a motorcycle traveling north on I-65 driving at a high rate of speed and in a reckless manner. A Post 4 trooper did observe Carr near the 87-mile marker but, due to high speeds, was not able to continue to observe the motorcycle, and it was soon lost.<\/p>\n
Carr was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Hardin County Coroner’s Office. <\/p>\n
Kentucky State Police was assisted at the scene by the Hardin County EMS and the Hardin County Coroner’s Office. The collision remains under investigation by the Kentucky State Police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
