Billy Gregory, Public Affairs Officer Kentucky State Police Post 15, Columbia, KY (FRANKFORT, KY) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that 12 people died in eleven separate crashes on Kentucky roadways from Monday, January 5 through Sunday, January 11, 2009. Eleven of the fatal crashes involved motor vehicles and six of those victims were not wearing seat belts. Single-vehicle crashes occurred in Adair, Floyd, Greenup, Harrison, Jefferson (2), Laurel, Oldham, and Union counties. Two of the crashes involved the suspected use of alcohol. A double-fatality occurred in Ballard county. Upon KSP arrival, the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames. After extinguishing the fire, an adult and child were found deceased in the passenger compartment. Preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle traveled off of the right side of the roadway and struck a tree. One pedestrian fatality occurred in Green county. Through January 11th, preliminary statistics* indicate that 17 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2009. This is 10 fewer than reported for this time period in 2008. Of the 15 motor vehicle fatalities, 9 victims were not wearing seat belts. One pedestrian has been killed. A total of 5 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol. 2008 Year-End Fatality Update* Preliminary statistics* indicate that a total of 822 people lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2008.
