CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — A 32-year-old motorcyclist died Thursday morning after a crash with a pickup truck at the intersection of Lone Valley Road and Robin Road in Taylor County, according to a release from the Kentucky State Police.
KSP responded to the crash at 7:48 a.m. Investigators said 23-year-old Wesley Burton from Campbellsville was driving south on Lone Valley Road in a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado when he attempted to make a left turn onto Robin Road.
KSP says that due to limited visibility created by a sharp curve at the intersection, Burton did not see a 2024 Yamaha motorcycle being driven north by 32-year-old James Austin, also from Campbellsville. The vehicles then reportedly collided head-on, on Lone Valley Road
Austin was pronounced dead at the scene by the Taylor County Coroner, while Burton was not injured, the release states.
