In the coming days, Kentucky State Police Post 15 in
Columbia will be conducting safety traffic checkpoints in the Post 15 area,
which includes Russell and surrounding counties.
Troopers will be checking for impaired drivers, children
that are not properly restrained in child safety seats and informing the public
about the use of seatbelts.
These safety checkpoints will be conducted in various
locations throughout the Post 15 area that are experiencing a high ratio of
vehicular crashes resulting in injury and/or death compared to relatively low
safety restraint usage ratio.
