I just recently wrote an Article detailing Kentucky's New Law on Hit and Run Injury Accidents. Until today it was only a Misdemeanor for a Suspect in a Hit and Run Accident to flee the scene. Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear signed a new bill into law that now makes this conduct a Class D Felony.
Kentucky was one of only three states that still charged this conduct as a Misdemenor. Kentucky State Representative Tommy Thompson sponsored the bill after a 2006 Hit and Run Accident in Owensboro took the life of a 14 year old boy.
Lexington and the University of Kentucky was rocked several weeks ago when a Hit and Run Accident took the life of UK Freshman Connie Blount of Park City Utah. Since then Shannon Houser of Lexington has been charged with a Misdemeanor Hit and Run Charge.
This new law will take effect in July 2008.
