A Growing City With a Growing Crash Problem
Georgetown has nearly quadrupled in population since 1990, from roughly 11,400 residents to more than 41,000 today, according to World Population Review. Scott County as a whole now tops 63,000 people, and World Population Review’s ranking of Kentucky’s fastest-growing cities puts Georgetown at No. 8 by annual growth rate. Roads built for a much smaller city are now carrying a much heavier load.
The numbers from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s 5-Year Crash Analysis (2020–2024) tell the story plainly: Scott County averaged roughly 1,500 crashes per year over that period, with 43 fatal crashes across the five years. Speeding convictions in the county surged from 165 in 2020 to 800 in 2024, a number the KYTC report documents at the county level.
Scott County’s Most Dangerous Roads
Georgetown Police identified mile markers 125–127 on I-75 as the city’s primary danger zone, recording 63 crashes along that stretch in 2025 alone, according to WKYT. Officers clocked speeds reaching 109 mph in a posted 70 mph zone during enforcement operations at those mile markers.
The Cherry Blossom Way and I-75 interchange at mile marker 126 has seen fatal crashes, including a deadly collision at the northbound on-ramp in April 2025, reported by LEX 18. Closer to downtown, the intersection of the Georgetown Bypass and Paris Pike recorded the most collisions of any intersection in the city, according to a Georgetown Police Department study covered by LEX 18. US-62, which runs through Georgetown as part of the bypass system, has been called Kentucky’s deadliest road by fatalities per mile.

A Direct Connection to Georgetown

That’s not marketing language. It’s the reason the firm treats Georgetown calls the same way it treats calls from Louisville or Lexington, because one of the people running the firm went to school here.
