Highway Fatality Report
KENTUCKY...
757 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2009. This is 39 less fatalities than reported for the same time period in 2008. 342 of those victims were not wearing seat belts. A total of 158 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol. Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555. Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location,direction of travel and license number if possible. These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local lawenforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas. Crash data for this report is generated from the Kentucky Fatality Analysis Reporting System(FARS).
