No cause of death has been announced.

If you're traveling this 4th of July weekend, well, you'll have plenty of company.

Triple J predicts 71 million Americans will be on the move this week.

That's on the ground and in the air.

About one in five Americans will drive at least 50 miles.

Triple H says many of them have already hit the road.

On Saturday, June 29th and will go on through July seven.

Nearly 71 million people nationwide traveling, and that will include more than 810,000 Kentuckians.

So if you are going to be hitting the road, what you can expect a lot of traffic congestion.

A lot of folks will be traveling.

I know I've traveled just locally over the weekend and found the interstate to be very busy so that 4th of July travel is under way.

You want to be sure that when you leave, if at all possible, leave early in the day, that usually will help you to avoid the worst of the traffic, the worst of the traffic congestion.

So the earlier in the day that you can travel regardless of what day you are waiving, the better.

And I'm also reminding folks to make sure that they have a summer vehicle emergency kit in their car.

That means not only the things that we keep your arms, like the jumper cables and the flares saying that flashlight with fresh batteries, those sorts of things.

But we also want to add some water.

Make sure that you have a bottled water for you.

If you get the family dog along, make sure that you don't forget him or her and have water for them and a bowl to drink out of as well.

And I've been reminding people because there are so many people on the road.

You know, I say this every time we have one of these travel holidays, be sure that you pack your patience.

That's probably the best advice.

Triple H says July 3rd and July 7th will be the busiest travel days for the upcoming holiday, so make sure to plan accordingly.
