AUTO ACCIDENTS CAUSE
HEAVY PROPERTY LOSS
ESTIMATE PLACED AT TWO AND
A HALF BILLION DOLLARS,
WITH MORE THAN 30,000
KILLED OUTRIGHT
According to B. G. Willis, vice
president of the Fireman’s Fund In
demnity Company, the annual eco
nomic loss due to automobile acci
dents is about $2,500,000,000.
Practically all of the two and u
half billion loss is due to three fac
tors—ignorance, carelessness or in
competence. There is no other ma
jor cause of automobile accidents.
The unavoidable accident is rare in
deed. The percentage of accidents
due to mechanical failure of the car
is small—and in the bulk of these the
fault lies with the ownier who has
not kept his machine in proper con
dition. The human factor is present
in every mishap.
Last year ignorance, carelessness
o” incompetence at the wheel killed
34,400 people and injured almost
1,000,000. During 1933 these factors
will be responsible for another 35,-
000 deaths —unless every motorist
awakens to his responsibility and
does his part to reduce the ghastly
toll.
