Two Motorcycle Accidents in Kentucky Over the Weekend Claim the lives of Two Men and One Horse

In two separate motorcycle accidents over the weekend in Kentucky two men have lost their lives.

Edward Garner died on Saturday night in Madison County when apparently his motorcycle left the road and hit an embankment.  He was transported to Pattie A. Clay Medical Center where he later died as a result of the injuries from the accident.  Mr. Garner was 50-years-old and  from Richmond, Kentucky.

In a separate accident in Carlisle county 44 year-old Garrett Warfield was also killed while riding a motorcycle.  Mr. Warfield was carrying an 11 year old passenger at the time of the accident who suffered injuries to her lower extremities.  She was transported to a hospital in Missouri. The accident occurred when the motorcycle hit a horse on Kentucky Route 8-49 West.  The horse also died in the crash.  It has not been reported as to whether any of the victims were wearing helmets.

With the price of gasoline rising I have seen more and more motorcycles and scooters on the road lately.  It is the responsibility of all on the road to be aware of others. Look twice whether you are a motorcyclist or driving an automobile. For more information on Louisville, Kentucky lawyer Mike Schafer go to www.mikeschaferlaw.com.
