KYTC/KSP announce decrease in 2022 highway fatality count From Erin Eggen/Capt. Paul Blanton Frankfort, KY - Highway fatalities in Kentucky decreased last year for the first time since 2018. While the reduction demonstrates a positive step, state officials encourage motorists to practice safe driving behaviors to prevent avoidable deaths.
"The decrease in highway fatalities is an encouraging sign of what I hope will be a downward trend for years to come," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "While we are thankful, one fatality is one too many and we grieve with those who lost loved ones last year on our roadways.
