The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists to continue utilizing caution while driving. District 7 forces worked overnight and continue to patrol and treat routes as necessary for the 12 counties in the district.
Protect yourself in an emergency
Kentucky has a Quick Clearance Law (KRS 189.580) meaning:
If you are involved in a crash –
- if no one is visibly injured, move your vehicle to the shoulder or off of the interstate or parkway
- call the police
- exchange information with the other party
If you have a disabled vehicle –
- move your vehicle off the roadway if possible
- turn on emergency flashers
- to request aid — tie something white or bright to your antenna or window or raise the hood
- if you are unable to move your vehicle from the roadway — stand away from the vehicle
- keep your arms and legs moving to stay warm
To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning if trapped in snow — keep the exhaust pipe clear. Run your vehicle with the windows partially open and use the heat for 10 minutes every hour.
