 July is going to be hotter than ever because you get up to $50 off any smartphone at Appalachian Wireless to your agreement required. Better service? Bigger savings? That's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. Eastern Kentucky is known to have some of the most dangerous roads in the state and unfortunately traffic crashes are common for both civilians and for law enforcement officers. But at last week's annual Kentucky State Police Award ceremony officials at post nine were surprised to find out their post had been given the 2016 KSP Safe Driving Award which recognizes the post with the highest average number of safe driving miles between collisions. It's hard to receive this award given the area that we cover the five counties. You're looking at some pretty treacherous roadways a lot of times at some time of of a high speed at night maybe even in the rain so it's hard to avoid collisions. Every time a trooper works his or her miles are logged and data for those miles is tracked at KSP headquarters in Frankfurt and the number of miles traveled safely by troopers in the post nine area was above any other post in the state. So for the entire post with the troopers here signed at post nine it was nearly 2 million miles that were logged without an accessible collision. Because of the vast area that post nine covers the five county post in southeast Kentucky has more troopers than any of the other 15 posts making this award much more difficult to receive. Just for us to get the reward it's it's it's something new for us and we're pretty proud of it. Reporting from Pike County I'm Shannon Deskins for EKB News.
