Sheriff Bobby Jones reports that on August 20, 2023, at approximately 3:48 PM,
Deputies with the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office responded to an injury accident on
East Highway 80 and Squib Ano Road in Eastern Pulaski County involving a motorcycle
and a Mazda car.

Preliminary investigation revealed that a Mazda Passenger Car and the motorcycle
were traveling east on KY 80 near the intersection of KY 80, the Old London Road (KY
1956), and Squib-Ano Road when the motorcycle, with two persons on it, made a turn
to the left. At this time, the Mazda, driven by Ashley D. Tucker, age 22, of Hopkinsville,
Kentucky struck the motorcycle. Preliminary investigation appears to be that the
motorcycle turned to the left in front of the Mazda to turn onto Old London Road. The
passenger on the motorcycle was later pronounced deceased by the Pulaski County
Coroner’s Office. The operator of the motorcycle was flown to the University of
Kentucky Hospital with serious injuries. The Sheriff's Office does not know his condition
as of this press release. As of this writing, the names of the persons on the motorcycle
are being withheld pending identification and notification of the next of kin.

Deputy Logan Crabtree, Deputy Ryan Jones, and the Coroner’s Office continue the
investigation.

Other responding agencies consisted of the Somerset/Pulaski EMS, Air Methods, and
the Shopville Fire Department.
