no updates on the condition of the four men injured

of this intersection. Although the Department of Transportation has informed

9:39
list for a roundabout in Washington County, Essex said he
9:42
was told the intersection would not be addressed for at
9:45
least two to three years, and the state planned to
9:48
complete the Highway one fifty project from Fredericktown to Bardstown
9:52
before starting anything new in Washington County. He studied as
9:57
Senator Higden, who cheers the Senate Committee on Transportation, to
10:00
see if there was anything that could be done to
10:02
give this intersection a higher priority in light of the
10:06
number and frequency of serious accident. Less than a month ago,
10:10
a Washington County Sheriff's deputy was taken to the hospital
10:13
for injuries he sustained when he also collided with the
10:17
vehicle that crossed into his path from Bloomfield Road. Turning
