Local Residents Cause Most Wrecks Local residents, not out-of-stat- erg or strangers, contribute most to Oregon’s traffic accident toll, a study of statewide accident re cords shows. More than 90 per cent of the drivers involved in traffnc mis haps last year lived w ithin 25 miles of the scene of occurrence and about the same percentage held valid Oregon drivers licenses. Although some 900,000 out-of- state cars probably w ill be driv ing Oregon streets and highways this year, the division said the tendency to blame tourists for a major shaie of vacation-season accidents is not consistent with the facts.
