Trooper remembered Sunday on I-24

Ponder

A memorial service will be held Sunday to recognize the five-year anniversary of the death of a Kentucky State Trooper on I-24.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict westbound traffic to one lane on Interstate 24 at the 49 mile marker in Lyon County from 4 to 6 p.m., Sunday evening.

The restriction will facilitate a 5 p.m., memorial service for Kentucky State Trooper Cameron Ponder.  

Trooper Ponder was killed in the line of duty during a traffic stop at this interstate location in 2015.

The memorial service will be held just west of the Friendship Road Overpass.
