Rouie 66 Report
Accuses Drivers
In Traffic Toll
By JOHN D. KENDALL
United Press International
PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPI) -Route
66 perhaps the most
sung about, talked about, writ
ten about U.S. highway
stretches 381 miles across Ari
zona taking a bloody toll of
weary and unwary travelers.
This year from January
through September 59 persons
died in 35 fatal automobile
crashes on the vacationland
highway where death takes no
holiday.
Don't blame the highway.
There are better roads than
some sections of Highway 66
but thousands upon thousands
travel it without accident.
Blame Drivers
Frustrated authorities say it's
tired, sleepy, drinking, reckless,
irresponsible drivers that bring
death to themselves and others.
You don't have to look far
for an example. Go back to
6:40 a.m. Sept. 11 at sign post
63.3 about five miles east of
Kingman, Ariz.
Five persons died there in the
cool of the new day on a stretch
of highway where road condi
tions and visibility were rated
"good.
Similar incidents of sudden
violent death occur periodical
ly at other times and places on
"bloody w.
Eighteen persons have died in
just four accidents on uie wen
traveled route this year.
There were 29 fatal accidents
with 53 deaths on the Arizona
stretch of 66 in 1962, with 19
deaths in four of the accidents.
Why?
Three-month Survey
Authorities have tried to find
out. They have conducted a
three-month study, questioning
170,000 drivers in the survey
The survey revealed about 20
per cent ol me drivers naa
driven 16 hours since their last
bed rest. One motorist said he
had gone 72 hours since the last
time he had slept in . bed. He
described his journey ' as a
"Dleasure trio."
Of the 35 fatal crashes so far
this year on 66, authorities say
11 were caused by sleep and
fatigue, 11 by speeding, five by
drinking, four by improper pass
ing and five by lost control
which is to say ine driver ran
off the road.
Law enforcement officers pa
trol the highway. Safety offi
cials issue repeated warnings
but the bloody toll continues
with authorities wondering who
will be next to drive too long,
or too fast, or recklessly or
while drinking.
What some motorists don'l
seem to know officers say
is that U. S. Highway 66 rises
from 480 feet above sea level
at the California border to more
than 7,000 feet between Wil
liams and Flasstaff. Ariz.
Those who have studied the
problem say that drivers don't
realize the higher a 1 1 1 c u d e
makes them sleepy or just how
much power their car loses at
higher elevations.
