LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – A motorcyclist killed in a crash Thursday afternoon has been identified. According to the Fayette County Coroner’s Office, 58-year old Wendell Keith Robinson, of Lexington, died from traumatic injuries to his head, torso and extremities.

The coroner’s office says Robinson was pronounced dead at UK Hospital just after 7:00 p.m.
No one in the car was taken to the hospital, according to police.
