Couple dies in Laurel crash

An Indiana couple lost their lives Monday afternoon after a Lexus crossed the center lane of Kentucky 80 and hit their motorcycle, Kentucky State Police Trooper Mike Bowling said.

Carla Luebbe, 49 and John Luebbe, 58, of Lawrenceburg, Ind. were travelling through Laurel County with a group of motorcyclists on their Honda Valkyrie when the crash occurred.

"The red passenger car for some unknown reason passed the center line," Bowling said. "(The Luebbes) received fatal injuries."

The names of the two people in the Lexus were unavailable Monday, but Bowling said they had both been transported to Marymount Medical Center. Laurel County Coroner Doug Bowling pronounced the Luebbes dead at the scene.

An anonymous friend who witnessed the crash and was travelling with the Luebbes said they were part of a group of 18 motorcyclists who were taking a trip together. The witness said the Luebbes have two children in college in Bright, Ind.

"They have a boy and a girl," she said. "They were the nicest people you'd ever want to meet."

The group had just returned to the road after a late lunch when the wreck occurred around 4 p.m. Monday. The witness said the rest of the motorcyclists were ending their trip and returning home following the crash.

"The only thing I can figure is God took them together because they wouldn't have wanted to be apart," she said.

The wreck is the second fatality to occur on Kentucky 80 since two Laurel County High School girls were killed Friday morning and the third fatal crash in less than a week.
