Paris, KY – A heartfelt message shared by the Kentucky State Police (KSP) is earning widespread attention after a stranded driver publicly thanked a trooper who helped them during last week’s winter storm in Bourbon County.
According to KSP, the driver’s vehicle became stuck at a Speedway in Paris as icy conditions gripped the region. While several vehicles passed by, one KSP trooper reportedly stopped, pushed the car free, and ensured the motorist safely returned to the road.
“I can’t thank this trooper enough,” the driver wrote in a message submitted through the agency’s Thank A Trooper program. “He was the only one to stop. He pushed me out and helped me get back on the road. He was very kind and sympathetic, even as I cried. I literally can’t thank him enough.”
The anonymous message, shared on KSP’s official Facebook page, highlighted the trooper’s patience and compassion during a difficult moment — an example of service that resonated with residents across Kentucky still recovering from snow and freezing rain.
KSP encouraged others to share similar stories, noting that messages can be submitted anytime through the Thank A Trooper form on their website.
