 Life is good all this month at Appalachian Wireless. Get the LG G5 for just one penny with sign up or renewal of a two year service agreement. That's almost $100 off the regular price. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Within five years, Pike County has gone from being the worst county in the state for traffic crashes to number 13. We like to be number one in Pike County, but not this number one. And now we've dropped completely out of the top 10. Pike County's total crashes are down by 30%, fatalities are down 22%, and injuries 23%. This is at a time when the trends statewide and nationwide are going up. There are more fatalities, more crashes, more injuries nationwide and in the state of Kentucky. Officials say this is due, in part, to the Pike County Highway Safety Team and law enforcement. They say awareness to the issue has also played a huge role in bringing down traffic collisions. If it weren't for East Kentucky Broadcasting, the people in Pike County wouldn't even know we were trying to do what we're trying to do. So this was as much a congratulatory day for East Kentucky Broadcasting as any of the rest of us. It's exciting to see a community care about a problem, but beyond just talking about it or trying to address it individually. This team represents the media, law enforcement, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, other community partners, and that's the way that problems are solved. For us, the most serious problem is people who die on our roads. The Pike County Highway Safety Team hopes to be even further down the list in the next report.
