Holiday Accidents Statistics Are
Disclosed By Highway Patrol Chief .
The critical hours for traffic
deaths during the recent Fourth
of July holiday weekend were
between 9 p.m. and midnight,
although non-fatal accidents
occured most frequently during
the late afternoon and early
evening hours.
These facts were disclosed in a
review of the traffic accidents
investigated by the California
Highway Patrol released last week
by Patrol Commissioner Bradford
M. Crittenden. .
"Seven of the 21 fatal accidents
the Patrol investigated during the
holiday occured during this time
period, " Crittenden declared.
"They killed eight persons, eight
of whom were drivers and the
other a passenger, and both drivers
were killed in one of the accidents, "
Except for the time element,
there was little similarity among
these incidents, Crittenden noted.
“T wo were single car mishaps
in which the driver lost control of
his car and ran off the roadway.
Three cars were involved in one
crash in which one vehicle was
on the wrong side of a divided
highway. Its driver was killed.
"Both drivers died in a head-on
collision that occurred when one
driver crossed over the center line
of atwo-laneroadway. An intersection collision between twocars
cost the life of one driver and
brought criminal charges against
the other.
"A rear-end collision between
two moving cars on a freeway
killed a passenger in the struck
car, and the eighth victim was
the driver of a parked car that was
struck by a passing truck.
"Of the 13 drivers involved,
two were classed as obviously
intoxicated and twowere reported
to have been drinking-enough to
impair their driving ability to
some degree. The other nine,
including five who were killed,
had not been drinking. "
More than one-third of the nonfatal accidents investigated by
the Highway Patrol occurred
between 5 p.m. and 10p. m.,
Crittenden said,
More than half of the accidents
occurred in the counties in which
at least one of the drivers involved
resided. In fatalaccidents, howfever, only 42% of the drivers were
in their homecounty, and almost
10% were non-California residents.
