A man was pronounced dead at around 10:10 p.m. Saturday after being struck by a vehicle on the Pennyrile Parkway, according to a Kentucky State Police press release.
The release states Shoan Mitchell Jr., 21, Clarksville, was driving north on the Pennyrile near mile marker 17 when, for an unknown reason, Mitchellâs car became disabled in the median of the parkway.
Mitchell reportedly left the vehicle and crossed both northbound lanes to speak with an individual who was parked on the northbound shoulder of the parkway, the release said.
Mitchell then turned and began to cross both lanes back to his vehicle, but was struck by a vehicle driven by Nicholas Starr, 37, Madisonville.
