A motorcyclist from Kansas, traveling through the Local 6 region, is dead after being struck by an out-of-control pick up truck.
    
It happened just after 7:00 p.m. Thursday in Wingo, Kentucky along U.S. Highway 45.

Graves County Sheriff, Dewayne Redmon, says the driver of the pickup, pulling a trailer, lost control after one of his tires blew out.
