The Midway community is mourning the death of a Woodford County woman. She died while riding a moped Friday night.
The accident happened along Woodlake Road. Officials say Deborah Rodgers drove into a tree about 3 miles west of Stamping Ground in Scott County. It was just after 8:00 and it all took place right outside Tony Hammons’ home.

“It didn’t appear that they were speeding. I think she just got out of that curve and wasn’t familiar with the road and lost control of the bike,” says Hammons.
Hammons works and lives on Woodlake Road as a welder. He was backing out of the driveway when he and his friend heard the crash. “We were were first on the scene, the bike was still running,” remembers Hammons. “The lady was lying on the ground unresponsive.”
Hammons and his friend ran over, turned off the moped and called 911. “Her boyfriend realized that she was no longer following and he came back, and he was pretty shaken up,” says Hammons.
The county coroner says Rodgers leaves behind a 16-year-old daughter.
