Being that many people consume alcohol during New Year’s Eve celebrations, the Kentucky State Police (KSP) reminds the public to secure a safe ride home.
The Christmas holiday season turned out to be deadly for 10 people throughout the state, according to information from the KSP.
Preliminary statistics indicate that 10 people died in 10 separate crashes on Kentucky’s roadways during the Christmas holiday period from 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 24, through 11:59 p.m. Sunday.
Richmond cab companies can be a useful tool in securing a ride home after a New Year’s Eve celebration.
Early reservations can be made through T&T; Taxi by calling 624-0492, and the Central Cab Co., which will be operating all night, can be reached at 624-8294.
