Preliminary statistics* statewide indicate that eight people died as a result of eight separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways during the 2009 July 4th holiday period.

Troopers working counties in the Post 12 area issued the following citations and conducted 4 traffic safety check points. Compared to this same time in 2008, fatal collisions in the Post 12 counties are down by 26% and fatalities are down by 32%.

Kentucky State Police Post 12-Frankfort provides police coverage for Anderson, Fayette, Franklin, Scott, Shelby, Spencer and Woodford County.
