Hickory, KY (August 31st, 2019)- The Kentucky State Police responded to an injury collision at KY 408 and US45N (southbound), at approximately 10:12 A.M.

Several Troopers responded to the scene of the original collision. Troopers blocked off one lane of US45N (southbound traffic), to shield emergency personnel and victims of the collision.   A motor home operated by Stephen Steinert of Elkhart Lake, WI was south on US45N.  The motor home struck a Kentucky State Police marked Ford Explorer with blue lights activated.  The State Police vehicle was unoccupied and received extensive damage.
