Bruce Miller of Grayson, Kentucky and William Walker Both Killed in a Motorcycle Wreck in Rowan County-Kentucky Motorcycle Accident Attorney
DATE:     August, 2009
LOCATION:     Highway 1274 near Menifee County
TYPE:     Multi-vehicle accident kills one and injures others.

The scenic area of Rowan County Kentucky along Highway 1274 is a popular stretch of road for motorcyclists.  With its winding road it also became a deadly stretch for 64-year-old Bruce Miller of Grayson, Kentucky.   A car driving down the highway fell off the shoulder; in its attempt to regain control it crossed the middle line into oncoming traffic.  Unfortunately, two motorcycles were in that oncoming traffic and were unable to get out of the way of the car, both motorcycles crashing into the car.

Both motorcyclists were airlifted to the hospital where Mr. Miller was pronounced dead.  Days later the other motorcyclist died due to injuries from the accident.  The driver and the passenger in the car were taken to the hospital for possible treatment.  Sadly the story does not end here. 
On the same highway another group of bikers were making their way around a tight curve when one lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into a rock wall.  The rider was also airlifted to the hospital for treatment of his non-life threatening injuries.

Many people believe it is solely up to the riders to make their ride safe.  Both incidents mentioned above the riders were doing the right thing.  There were travelling in a group which enhances their visibility.  It is up to all motorists to be aware of their surroundings, not just the motorcyclists.  As the popular bumper-sticker says “Be safe-check twice”.  Our sympathies go out to the Miller and Walker families and hope for a quick and complete recovery for the injured.
