Fifty-one year old Jeff Givens, owner of Jeff Givens Stables here in Murfreesboro, was killed on southbound I-71 in Gallatin County, Kentucky around 8:30 Sunday morning. A passenger, 53-year old Tim Taylor of La Vergne, was hurt and taken by air ambulance to a Cincinnati hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
