KSP will watch for impaired drivers this weekend

Kentucky State Police will be conducting additional traffic safety checkpoints tonight through the weekend watching for impaired drivers in the Post 3 area that includes, Warren, Barren, Butler, Hart, Logan, Simpson, Allen and Edmonson counties.

Extra patrols will be done in high traffic areas in those counties in an effort to create safer roads for all drivers during this heavily traveled holiday weekend, Kentucky State Police Post 3 spokesman Jeremy Hodges said.

“We want everyone to have a fun and safe holiday and be responsible,” Hodges said.

People who intend to drink alcohol should make arrangements ahead of time to have a sober driver.
