Traffic Accidents
In State Equal to
$37.20 on Each Car
The cost of Otegon traffic ac
cidents in 1949 represents a
charge of $37.20 against every
motor vehicle in the state, Secre
tary of State Earl T. Newbry
estimated today.
He explained that calculable
costs include wage loss, medical
expense, property damage, and
overhead cost of insurance. They
do not include insurance pre
miums or claims paid.
An itemized accounting of the
1949 experience assesses 354 fa
talities at $6,442,800; 11,685 in-
Newbry said safety officials
calculate total losses chargeable
to traffic accidents at $24,515,
540. The amount is based on Na
tional Safety Council figures
averaging $18,200 per death,
$660 per injury, and $160 for
each property damage accident,
juries at $17,712,100; and 64,754

accidents at $10,300,6-10. The
secretary added that 125,478 of
the state's registered 6f,(K3 ve
hicles were involved in the mis
haps. Newbry pointed out that the
figures represent only the money
loss to individuals, serving to
emphasize the waste of acci
dents. Expense through govern
mental agencies of police and
highway work made necessary
by the crashes cannot be esti
mated. And a dollars and cents
figure can hardly represent the
true loss of killed and injured
victims, the secretary concluded. !
