Driving in Daviess County
As the largest county in Western Kentucky and home of the regional medical center and institutions such as Western Kentucky University, there is heavy traffic on Daviess County roadways, and that means a lot of accidents – over 1,200 resulting in injury the past two years alone, including 23 accidents resulting in fatalities. Arguably, the most dangerous road in the county is Frederica Street in Owensboro, which has seen an incredible 165 accidents resulting in injury the past two years. US 60 between US 231 and KY 334 has had several accidents as well, including three resulting in at least one fatality.
