KSP offers trick-or-treating safety tips

(KFVS) - The Kentucky State Police are offering some Halloween safety tips for trick-or-treaters.

“Halloween is traditionally a time for children to have fun, but most often it is the children who can be injured by situations that are avoidable,” said Lt. David Jude, spokesperson for KSP. “Be sure your child’s costume does not obstruct their vision and is not so cumbersome that they can trip over it.”

Jude says on Halloween evening we're placing our children in probably some of the most dangerous traffic situations you could imagine.
