Gov. Beshear provides update on COVID-19 By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear said that there has been a substantial decrease in Kentucky's new COVID-19 cases, however deaths remain high. "For the most part we have good news today. Cases are significantly, if not rapidly, declining," said Gov. Beshear. "We believe the weather and a lot of places closing for a number of days last week did have an impact. This may make the drop in cases look a little bit larger than it would otherwise be. Regardless, we are definitely moving in the right direction." The Governor added, "This is still the fifth highest week in our entire COVID experience. So while we are moving in the right direction, there is still a whole lot of virus out there. We ask people to be careful in the next couple weeks. Next month we may see really serious reductions which might get us to a place we can all be really excited about."

ACSO: Ice storm accidents closed parkway for 7 hours Friday Multiple commercial vehicle collisions resulted in one injury and the shutting down of LBN parkway on Friday morning. By Sheriff Josh Brockman Adair County Sheriff's Office On Friday, February 4, 2022, at 05:01am, the Adair County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to the 41 mile marker east bound on the LBN Parkway. Adair 911 had received reports of multiple collisions in the area. Upon arrival and investigation, Deputy Chandler Staten found that a 2015 Jeep Cherokee operated by Bethany Lickeig, 29, of Edmonton, had stopped on the parkway because the roadway was blocked by an overturned 2000 Freightliner tractor and trailer operated by Juan Diaz, age 52, of Tennessee. A third vehicle, a 2019 Freightliner tractor and trailer operated by Calvin Rayford, 45, of Alabama, came upon collision and was unable to stop. Rayford's semi and trailer jackknifed and began to slide sideways down the parkway eastbound and struck the 2015 jeep Cherokee operated by Lickeig. Lickeig was transported by Adair County EMS to TJ Health Columbia for treatment of injuries. Neither of the operators of commercial vehicles were injured in the collision. The collision prompted the closure of the parkway at the Edmonton exit. Columbia Police Officers and additional Sheriff's deputies were called out, and the parkway was closed down at the 46 mile marker for nearly 7 hours.
