 The Tennessee Department of Transportation is announcing the start of Operation Southern Slowdown. They're one of five states that participate in this annual program, as the goal is to reduce the number of speed-related crashes and traffic deaths. The operation lasts through Sunday. A Tennessee family of a man who died after suffering third-degree burns from a scowling shower at a Northern Kentucky hotel has been awarded over $2 million by Kentucky Circuit Court. Alex Kronis traveled with two associates and stayed at the Erlanger Econo Lodge on November 18th.
