Kenny Poppell and
Shawna PoppellKenny Poppell, a young drag racer, has died in a motorcycle crash. Poppell was riding his motorcycle down the street in Jessup, Georgia, when he collided with a car pulling out onto the road.
A neighbor heard the crash and called police, but it was too late for Kenny Poppell.
Even though Poppell had a need for speed, initial police reports indicate that Poppell was driving under the speed limit at the time of the accident. WTOC News reports that Rayonier Road, where the accident occurred, is a bendy road lined with trees, and the driver probably just didn't see him.
Kenny Poppell was given the 2007 Sportsman Rookie of the Year award by the AMA Dragbike Championship series, and was married to his wife Shawna.
Poppell was just 29-years-old.
