63-Year-Old Nauvoo Man Killed in Walker County Motorcycle Crash
A tragic motorcycle crash in Walker County on Thursday evening claimed the life of a 63-year-old man, according to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA).
Officials identified the victim as Roger D. Naramore of Nauvoo, Alabama. The collision occurred just before 7:30 p.m. on Alabama Highway 5, approximately five miles north of Jasper.
Authorities reported that Naramore was riding a Suzuki VZ800 motorcycle when he collided with a Chevrolet Trailblazer driven by 32-year-old Kayla House. The impact proved fatal, and Naramore was pronounced dead at the scene despite rapid emergency response efforts. House was not injured in the crash.
Senior Trooper Gregory Corble is leading the investigation and said no citations or charges have been issued at this time. The ALEA Highway Patrol Division continues to analyze evidence—including skid marks and vehicle positioning—to determine how the collision occurred. Toxicology testing, a standard procedure in fatal crash cases, will also be conducted.
Highway 5 was temporarily closed Thursday night as investigators examined the scene and cleared debris. Traffic was rerouted for several hours before the roadway reopened.
Local residents expressed sorrow over the loss and noted that this stretch of Highway 5 has seen multiple serious accidents in recent years. Many have urged transportation officials to consider improved lighting and safety measures to reduce risks along the rural highway.
Authorities extended condolences to Naramore’s family and friends, calling the incident a “heartbreaking loss for the Nauvoo community.” The investigation remains ongoing, and ALEA will release further details once the final report is complete.
