{Frankfort,
Kentucky}…About 39,000 motorists in West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and western
Pennsylvania are expected to call AAA East Central for help while traveling
during the Christmas and New Year's holidays. While AAA expects it will replace
more than 6,500 dead car batteries, change nearly 6,000 flat tires and retrieve
nearly 4,800 sets of keys locked inside vehicles, it expects nearly 16,000
motorists will have to have their vehicles towed for problems that can’t be
fixed by the roadside. Steve Popovich with AAA's Automotive Services says many
breakdowns can be avoided by checking the antifreeze, tire pressures, the
battery and belts and hoses before starting a trip.
