Plan ahead to stay safe during Thanksgiving travel period

The Thanksgiving holiday travel period is traditionally one of the deadliest times on Kentucky roads and law enforcement will be out in full force looking to stop and arrest anyone driving unsafe.

Christian County Sheriff Tyler DeArmond says if you plan to consume alcohol at a Thanksgiving gathering this week, be sure to plan ahead for a safe and sober ride home.

Kentucky State Police and other law enforcement agencies will have extra patrols out through the weekend and motorists may also see traffic safety checkpoints in high-collision areas.
