The Miller family of Richmond has become somewhat accustomed to vehicles crashing through their backyard fence. It happened again this July 4th holiday when a Dodge Ram pick-up truck with four occupants careened through their fence and landed on their deck.

The Miller's live on Hollywood Court but their backyard borders Highway 25 along a curve. Tracy Miller says that in the twelve years she and her family have lived in the home, ten cars have crashed through her fence. This most recent accident was by far the worse she said.

Miller said the pick-up truck was carrying four teenaged boys who were not wearing seat belts. She said the driver had been ejected but the other passengers were not seriously hurt.

The driver was transported to Patty A. Clay hospital in Richmond but was later taken to UK hospital for surgery to repair broken bones.

Miller said she is pleading with state and city lawmakers in hopes that a guardrail will be installed along the stretch of highway behind her home.

When will the Board of Education in Clark Co. take action on the drug problem that has so rampantly taken over George Rogers Clark High School....Parents if you think your child isn't involved, you are fooling yourself! Drugs do not CARE if you are from a good family, broken family, rich or poor! Clark Co. Comp Care is full of teens admitting---that its hard to get off the drugs when you have to bathe in them at George Rogers Clark High School.....Debbie Fatkin/Ray Shear please clean up the school--Mr. Napier seems to think that students will keep the drugs in their back packs or their lockers--he always checks there! PARENTS we need to have our school system treat OUR children as they would their OWN children suspecting of using drugs.ALL ARE GUILTY OF USING UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT! Parents please have a blood test done on your teen!
