Cody Cunningham Obituary – Authorities have identified the motorcyclist who died in a crash in downtown Louisville on Tuesday. Sgt. Matt Sanders, a spokesperson for the Louisville Metro Police Department, reported that officers responded to multiple calls about a motorcycle crash on I-64 West near the Ninth Street exit shortly after 3 p.m.
Witnesses informed police that three motorcyclists were “traveling at an extremely dangerous high rate of speed” when one of them lost control. According to Sanders, the motorcyclist collided with a concrete barrier above Ninth Street and was thrown 30 feet into a parking lot on Washington Street, near the Frazier History Museum.
The motorcyclist, identified on Thursday as 23-year-old Cody Cunningham, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sanders added that the motorcycle continued traveling another 250 feet along the road after Cunningham was ejected before coming to a stop. The other two motorcyclists remained at the scene and are cooperating with the LMPD’s Traffic Unit, which is conducting the investigation.
