Troopers with the Kentucky State Police responded to the 28-mile marker where they said 79-year-old Larry G. Humphrey had crossed the median into the opposite lanes and struck a vehicle being driven by 63-year-old Robert G. Medley of Springfield, Kentucky.
Medley had minor injuries to his arm and face, and reportedly refused treatment. Humphrey was taken to the Marshall County Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
The westbound lanes of I-24 were shut down for around four hours due to the collision.
