Prayers for our friends and partners at Kentucky State Police.

Today, we face one of the most difficult moments an agency can endure as we announce the loss of one of our own. Trooper Hayden Phillips, Unit 369, made the ultimate sacrifice while
patrolling I-65 in Warren County. He was assigned to Post 3 Bowling Green and was a graduate of Cadet Class 103. His dedication to duty and commitment to the commonwealth will not
be forgotten.
Our hearts break for Trooper Phillips’ family, loved ones, and fellow troopers as we grieve this tremendous loss. We will carry his memory with us, honor the life he lived and the badge he wore, and stand together as an agency to support this family in the days ahead.
-Colonel Phillip Burnett, Jr.

TIPS TO BE MORE AWARE WHEN DRIVING

When driving through an interstate your primary focus should be eliminating distractions and maintaining a safe buffer around your vehicle. If you happen to come up on an area with construction, always reduce your speed and drive with extra caution, as conditions can change quickly.

Speed and Lane Control
• Obey all temporary speed limits.
• Expect sudden slowdowns or stopped traffic. Traffic conditions can change without warning.
• Merge as early as possible. Do not wait until the last moment to move into the open lane.
• Avoid unnecessary lane changes.
• If in a work zone, watch for uneven pavement, lane shifts, and other changes to the roadway surface.

Distraction Management
• Put away mobile devices. Reading or sending texts, talking on the phone, or looking at your device greatly increases the risk of a crash.
• Avoid eating while driving as it takes your attention away from the road.
• Adjust dashboard controls before entering the highway. Set your climate controls, navigation, and radio in advance.
• Keep both hands on the steering wheel and your full attention on driving.

Distance and Awareness
• Double your normal following distance. Rear-end collisions are among the most common crashes.
• Give large commercial trucks extra space. Fully loaded tractor-trailers may require up to two football fields to come to a complete stop.
• Watch for brake lights well ahead of you. Scan several vehicles ahead to anticipate slowing or stopped traffic and react smoothly.
