KSP Holiday Safety Checkpoints
KENTUCKY...
Kentucky State Police are making their own holiday plans that include boosting road patrols during the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
State police say they'll also operate safety checkpoints across the state from Wednesday evening through Sunday night of Thanksgiving week.
State police will coordinate enforcement efforts with local police and sheriff's offices.
KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer says the higher traffic volumes during the holiday period add to the risk of highway travel. Last year, he says there were 1,113 vehicle crashes in Kentucky during the four-day Thanksgiving holiday period. Eight people died and 325 were injured.
