Accident Kills Williamsfield Motorcycle Driver
An accident near Oak Run Saturday night has resulted in the death of a Williamsfield man. The Knox County Sheriffs Department released details of the crash Monday. They say deputies and crews from multiple fire departments were called to US Route 150 near the intersection with Knox County Highway 12 around 9:30 Saturday night.

They say a pickup truck driven by an as-yet unidentified 16-year old male was westbound on 150 attempting to pass a car, when it struck a motorcycle headed eastbound. The Knox County Coroner pronounced the motorcycle's driver, 54-year old Kevin Cain, dead at the scene.

The truck driver, and two 15-year old male passengers were taken to a hospital, treated, and released.

Sheriffs department officials say the accident is being reconstructed and remains under investigation.
