Authorities identified 57-year-old Sammie Ransom, of Florida, as the victim who was killed after a two-vehicle accident Saturday in Robertson County.
The fatal motorcycle crash took place at mile marker 27 on I-24 West (between Joelton and Pleasant View) just after 10 PM. The investigation reports showed that Sammie Ransom was riding a 2010 Honda GL 1800 motorcycle when the bike struck the rear right of a 2021 Peterbilt, Tractor Trailer.
The reports further revealed that Ransom was on the right shoulder and was improperly passing others when the incident happened. After the crash, the motorcycle slid off the shoulder and into the grass on the right side of the interstate. Ransom died as a result of the accident. The interstate was shut down for several hours during the investigation. No further details are available.
An investigation is ongoing.
