GEORGIA’S TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ARE
FEATURED BY UNUSUAL INCIDENTS
By BEVERLY WALLACE.
Causes of vehicular accidents ran a
■wide gamut on Georgia streets® and high
ways last month, investigation reports
and press clippings received at the de
pastment of public safety show.
Speed, drunk drivers, failure to give or
observe signals and other infractions of
road rules caused most of the tragedies.
Animals, poor brakes or no lights figured
in a number of others.
One of the most sensational accidents
occurred between Nashville and Alpha
retta when two machines collided head
on and killed four persons. Failure of
another south Georgian to stop before
going from a side into a main road re
sulted in his death and injury to the
other driver.
A prominent congressman and his
family, vacation-bound, slowed down to
avoid hitting a covey of quails and were
rammed by a Texas woman exceeding the
speed limit. To avoid striking a dog, a
kind-hearted motorist near Winder over
turned his own car and injured his
family.
A horse got the blame and cost his
owner $25 damages when he tore loose
from his stake and ran over a car and an
Emanuel county farmer was taken home
to his family dead when a motorist
rammed into his buggy. A negro was
ground to a pulp and four others injured
when the driver failed to see a train in
time, another drunk negro was charged
with sideswiping a car and causing a
three-way collision near Dublin which in
jured eleven victims.
A Fulton county policeman rescued an
unconscious driver from a flaming car
which had been struck by a speeding hit
and-run, and an Atlanta driver got a nas
ty spill, rammed his car into a pole and
sent his companion to the hospital, when
his car door flew ooen.
A Savannah mother dashed her little
son to the pavement by applying her
brakes suddenly to avoid being struck by
another machine and a Bibb county farm
er died almost instantly when he failed
to make a turn and plowed into a pine
tree.
A well-to-do Millen business man was
killed when his car bounded on soft
shoulders and overturned and a jammed
steering rod caused the death of a 70-
year-old woman and injurie's of three
other persons. A locked steering wheel
was responsible for an accident in which
a Gainesville bailiff broke his neck, which
he didn’t discover until some time later.

The Hawkinsville fire chief also sprained
his neck when his motorcycle spilled him
and his son out for a fishing trip. A car
load of Augusta young joyriders fatally
injured two pedestrians which they said
they didn’t see and blowouts cost the life
of a football player in Atlanta and a
youth near Dalton.
There were others which caused broken
chests, crushed skulls, protruding bones
and agonizing deaths.
“But,” Safety Commissioner Lon E
Sullivan pointed out, “all of them could
have been avoided if everyone in each
case had exercised 100 per cent, caution,
courtesy and common sense rules of
safety.”
