During his Team Kentucky Update Thursday, Gov. Beshear announced that, compared to the same time last year, Kentucky has seen a 23% decrease in highway fatalities in 2025, as of July 2.
The commonwealth has also seen a 13% reduction in injuries related to highway crashes. So far, 275 Kentuckians have been lost to crashes on Kentucky highways and 1,174 highway injuries have been reported in 2025.
"These trends are very encouraging," said Gov. Beshear. "This shows that Team Kentucky's commitment and innovative strategies to make our roadways safer are paying off. We're going to keep pushing until that number is zero, because we know even one life lost to a highway crash in Kentucky is too many."
