An eastern Kentucky woman who would not stop her speeding car for three law enforcement agencies during a 30-mile chase faces several charges. State police say Trooper Don Trosper observed a car speeding on Kentucky 80, west of London, and gave chase.

A published report says two people related to passengers who died aboard Comair Flight 51-91 said investigators told them one of the pilots called out the wrong flight number and city before the crash in Lexington last week.

The doctor treating the lone survivor of the crash of Comair Flight 5191 says he will recover from his injuries, but faces a long recovery. James Polhinke was the first officer on the flight. Dr. Andrew Bernard at the University of Kentucky says Polehinke "is moving out of the woods," but will require more surgeries to repair broken bones before moving to rehabilitation. The 44-year-old Polehinke was the co-pilot on the flight, which crashed in a field August 27th, shortly after taking off from Blue Grass Airport in Lexington.
As part of Agri-Tourism Month in Kentucky, Governor Fletcher plans to be on hand this evening to officially open a Kentucky Unbridled Spirit corn maze. The maze is in the shape of the Kentucky Unbridled Spirit brand and is at Lamberts Land Maize and Pumpkin Patch near Owensboro.
