Traffic Wrecks
ATLANTA (GPS)-Traffic ac
cidents are responsible for kil
ling people on Georgia’s high
ways in a wholesale way.
Proof of this is shown in a
State Patrol statistical report
released by Col. R. H. Burson,
director of the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Safety.
For example, multiple-death
accidents (wrecks in which two
or more persons are killed in a
single accident) claimed the li
ves of 495 persons in 198 such
accidents during 1968. This re
presented 27.9 percent of Geor
gia’s traffic death toll last year.
Eight accidents caused the
death of five persons in each
mishap —a total of 40 fatalit
ies.

Kill People In Wholesale Way
In 17 crashes, four persons
lost their lives in each —a
total of 68.
In 41 other accidents, three
fatalities resulted In each one—
a total of 123 victims.
There were 132 accidents in
which two persons had their lives
snuffed out in each —a total of
264 deaths.
This violent type of accident
that liquidates two or more per
sons in a single crash was lar
gely responsible for bringing
Georgia’s 1968 traffic death toll
to a record high of 1,780.
“This is wholesale slaughter
of human lives and there is no
justification for It,” declared Col.

plosive crashes, is a leading
cause of these tragic accidents.
“One of the saddest aspects
of this situation is the fact that
many of these people Involved are
the innocent victims of a rash
act on the part of a thoughtless,
foolhardy driver. Uhtil the in
dividual driver makes up his mind
to obey all of our traffic laws,
and to drive carefully and sen
sibly at all times, these need
less killings will continue.
“We of the State Patrol will
continue to do all within our pow
er and resources to prevent It,
but in the final analysis It is up
to the drivers themselves to
really stop it. We Implore them
to do that -- and do it now.”
