Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A rise in motorcycle crashes has prompted Kentucky State Police to start a special safety campaign.

Just a few months into 2012 and troopers say they have already seen a 69% increase from 2011 for the same time period.

So KSP will soon be using social media to launch a new push for motorcycle safety and awareness.

Between the first of the year through April 4, there have been 249 motorcycle related crashes.
