David Jude News from Kentucky State Police Headquarters, Frankfort, KY FRANKFORT, KY - Preliminary statistics* indicate that 13 people died in 12 separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, July 11 through Sunday, July 17, 2011.

One single-fatality crash occurred in each of the following counties: Christian, Graves, Hardin, Morgan, Ohio, Warren and Wayne counties. Through July 17, preliminary statistics* indicate that 354 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2011. This is 37 fewer than reported for this time period in 2010. Of the 283 motor vehicle fatalities, 155 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 28 motorcycle fatalities, 16 were not wearing helmets. Nine of the 11 ATV fatalities were not wearing helmets.

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 law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.
