In an effort to raise awareness about highway safety, the "Blue Lights Across The Bluegrass" campaign will begin July 20th. and run through July 31st. Law enforcement organizations in 37 counties identified with four or more fatalities, as of June 10th., will participate. The campaign is sponsored by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. Officials say the year began with a reduction in highway fatalities, but the number increased in May and most of June. Counties in southeast Kentucky include Pike, Floyd, Knott, Letcher, Knox, Bell and Whitley counties.
