More Median Barriers to Prevent Crossover Car Accidents

The installation of median cable barriers that will prevent crossover
motor vehicle accidents continue to span onto more Kentucky highways thanks to an
announcement by Gov. Steve Beshear.  The cable barriers that have
already been installed on Interstates, 64, 265 and 71 in Jefferson and
Oldham as well as the one in Fayette County on New Circle Road have
apparently prevented almost 300 crossover car and truck accidents since
2006.
 
The five sections of highway are due for the cable installation were
determined by analysts who studied crash data to find the area with the
highest needs.  One of the areas getting the barriers is a 10.2 mile
stretch of the Gene Snyder Freeway between Interstate 65 and Dixie
Highway in the Louisville area. This is apparently the only area of the Gene Snyder Freeway
that doesn't have the barriers.  Other counties on I-65 that will
benefit from the barriers are Bullitt, Hardin, Hart and Barren counties.
These areas have been determined to be the most dangerous in Kentucky.
 
The Schafer Law Office handles cases involving car and truck accidents
on Kentucky highways, including injury cases and death cases.  It is
terrifying to be involved in such an accident and to lose a loved one is
devastating.  For more information on attorney Mike Schafer visit our
