The Tennessee Highway Patrol has identified the two motorcyclists killed in an accident Saturday afternoon on I-24 in Montgomery County.

Officials say two motorcycles were headed west near the 11 mile-marker about 4:20 p.m. when one rear-ended the other.

The driver and passenger on the rear motorcycle—42-year old Lennon Roberts of Owensboro and 45-year old Dianne Hinds of Georgia—were both killed.
