In Motor Accidents
North Carolina lost fourteen
of its future citizens last month
when four girls and ten boys
—all of them under 16 years of
age met untimely deaths under
the wheels of trucks and auto
mobiles, it was reported this
week by the Highway Safety
Diviaion.
Five of these boys and girls
were on foot, thrw were on
bicycles, one was on a school
bus, and five were in automo
biles.
Last month’s youthful traf
fic victims in North Carolina
ificluded:
Two boys riding a bicycle on
the highway at night without
a light.
A 14-year-old boy who ran
from behind a parked car into
the path of a truck.
A three-year-old girl who
•w&8 playing on the highway.
An 11-year-old boy who was
taking a driving lesson from a
16-year-old boy and stepped on
the gas instead of the brake
when the car started to run
off the road.
And a five-ye#r-old boy who
started across the street wi^-
oHit looking.
Traffic victims in the state
during the first three months
of this year included 11 boys
and giarls from 10 to 14 years of
age, 12 children from five to
ni»e years old, and six children
under five years of age. Fif
teen of the twenty-nine were
on foot and six were on bicy
cles.
“I urgently plead with North
Carolina motorists to be unus
ually alert and cautious w|hen
they see children ahead of them
on foot or on bicycles, and I
plead with North Carolina par
ents to do everything in their
power to make their children
safety-conscious and careful,"
said Ronald Hoeutt, director of
the Highway Safety Division.
“We must stop this slaughter
of the innocents.”
