Lexington police continue their search for a black BMW believed to have been involved in a fatal accident that took the life of 39-year-old woman last month.
On Friday, family and friends of Mary Anne Reynolds-Drury were quite visible at Lexington’s Fourth Of July parade riding their motorcycles through downtown hoping that visibility will help the case.
“I’m hoping someone is ridden with guilt and come forward,” said Adrienne Mason, who was a friend of the victim.

The details of what took the life of the Lexington woman in an accident on Leestown Road can only be answered by two people and police are still looking for one of them.
Mary Anne was heading home on Leestown after a late evening ride on her motorcycle when, according to police, a black BMW pulled out in front of her. She and the motorcycle hit the rear of the car, sending her into oncoming traffic.
The number of motorcyclists killed every year in Kentucky is staggering, according to numbers dug up by LEX 18 Investigates. Since 2005 more than 800 riders have lost their lives, an increasing number of those crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, are the result of distracted drivers.
Numbers do little to comfort Mary Anne’s family and friends, though.
“Seeing the picture, there is both beautiful and it s kind of heart crushing too,” said her father, Rick Reynolds.
Seeing his daughter’s picture is almost more than Reynolds can bare.
“Maryanne was very much involved in animal rights and animal rescue,” he said.
And she was more than an avid motorcyclist, she was a true rider, active enough in a ladies motorcycle club to earn the nickname “Chaos.”
“But it wasn’t her riding that did it, it was someone else being careless,” said Adrienne Mason.
Her friends and family are hoping that anyone with information about this accident will call the Lexington Police.
Mary Anne Reynolds-Drury’s family and friends are offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the person responsible for the crash.
