Fatal Motorcycle Crash – Kingston Pike
On Thursday, July 9 at 10:10 p.m., Knoxville Police Department officers were dispatched to a crash involving a passenger vehicle and a single-occupant motorcycle on Kingston Pike just east of Morrell Road. The driver of the motorcycle was transported to the UT Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased. Due to the severity of the crash, the on-call Crash Reconstruction Team was called to the scene to investigate.
The preliminary investigation determined that a 2001 Toyota Tacoma was traveling westbound on Kingston Pike when it turned in front of the motorcycle that was traveling eastbound on Kingston Pike. The male driver of the Toyota was uninjured in the crash. Charges are pending on the driver as the Crash Reconstruction Team proceeds with the investigation.
The deceased has been identified as 47-year-old Jerry Murrell of Knoxville, Tennessee.
