Help prevent impaired driving crashes during holiday weekend

By Erin G. Eggen

Frankfort, KY - As Kentuckians celebrate Independence Day this weekend, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is joining the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to remind drivers that "Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving."

Unfortunately, the holiday weekend can create dangerous road conditions when individuals choose to drive while impaired.

"We want all Kentuckians to enjoy their Independence Day festivities," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "However, we encourage everyone to celebrate responsibly by booking a safe ride home or designating a sober driver if your celebrations include alcohol. The top priority for everyone has to be keeping themselves and others safe."

Last year in Kentucky, there were 62 crashes due to a drunken and/or drugged driver over the Fourth of July holiday period, resulting in 39 injuries and two deaths.
