KSP: Fatal Collision on KY 379 in Russell Co.

From Trooper Jonathan Houk

Russell Springs, KY - Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 15 Troopers responded to a two-vehicle injury collision on KY 379 in Russell County that occurred on August 29, 2025, at 8:44 P.M. CST.

The preliminary investigation revealed that William Miller, 55, of Russell Springs, was traveling north on KY 379 on a 2004 Honda Shadow motorcycle. A 2004 Dodge Ram 2500, operated by Daniel Turner, 33, of Magnolia, was also traveling north on KY 379. Mr. Miller's vehicle was stopped in the roadway for an unknown reason. Due to the limited visibility of the motorcycle created by vehicular and environmental conditions, Mr. Turner was unable to see Mr. Miller's motorcycle in the roadway, colliding with it in the rear.


William Miller was transported from the scene to Russell County Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. Mr. Miller was pronounced deceased at the hospital by the Russell County Coroner. Daniel Turner was not injured during the collision.

KSP Post 15 Troopers were assisted at the scene by the Russell County Sheriff's Office, Jamestown Fire Department, Russell County EMS and the Russell County Coroner's Office. Senior Trooper Brandon Roark is investigating the collision.
