30 May
Die On
Highways
Be careful on your
Christmas holiday this year and
make it the merriest by stayin(
out of the 1,500 traffic
accidents which the N.C. State
Motor Club warns may take 30
lives and injure 900 other
persons on North Carolina's
streets and highway* during the
extended weekend.
The state will officially
count its Christmas highway
toll from 6 p.m. Wednesday,
Dec. 24, through midnight
Sunday, Dec. 28, a period of
102 hours. In a 30-hour period
last year when the holiday fell
in the middle of the week, the
cold statistics showed seven
killed and 254 others injured in
452 accidents.
Leading causes of these
accidents were: speeding, 112;
failed to yield right of way, 55,
drove left of center, 54; under
influence of alcohol, 32; and
reckless driving, 29.
" ' TIs the season to be
jolly, but not if you're a
careless or drinking driver,"
cautioned Thomas B. Watkins,
president of the motor dub.
"The six holiday periods so far
this year have brought death to
115 persons in traffic accidents
as against 171 for the year
before. "Traffic deaths are still
running behind the 1968 pace,
and we have a good chance to
show a decrease for this year,"
he said. "Let's make our state
the nicest Christmas gift of all
by driving with extra care to
keep ourselves and our fellow
man out of the obituary
columns."
