ACCIDENTS IN 1952 TOP ALL PAST RECORDS Hartford, Conn. More than two million casualties, the worst automobile accident toll in the nation’s history, were recorded in 1952, according to figures released by The Travelers 'lnsurance Companies. Last year’s traffic deaths totaled 37,600, an increase of 500 over the 1951 mark. The injury count soared to 2,090,000, more than 127,00 over 1951, the Hartford firm reported. The death and injury totals are highlight statistics from “Who, Me?” nineteenth in an annual series of traffic accident data booklets published by The Travelers. Company statisticians collect and analyze accident facts from each state. The most dangerous mistake in driving last year was excessive speed. Speed killed 13,430 persons and injured nearly 600,000, according to the report. Drivers under 25 years old were involved in almost 25 per cent of the year’s fatal accidents although they constitute only about 15 per cent of the total of all drivers. More than 15,000 persons were killed and nearly 750,000 hurt in weekend crashes in 1952. Forty per cent of the deaths and 36 percent of the injuries occurred on Saturdays and Sundays last year. It was the second consecutive year of improvement in the pedestrian record. Figures from the booklet show that pedestrian casualties were reduced by more than eight per cent in 1952. Crossing between intersections, “jay walking”. still is the chief Cause of pedestrian deaths and injuries. Other facta from “Who, Me?”: Three out of four auto accidents happened to passenger cars driving in clear weather on dry roads. Eighty per cent of vehicles involved in fatal accidents were traveling straight ahead. Saturday was the most dangerous day of the week to drive. 1952 was the third consecutive year of increase in the death toll. Old French Custom Old French custom granted the next marriage to the lass who made off with the bride’s garter. Competition for this good luck token became fierce, and sensible brides who wished to avoid a possible mauling left a garter hanging loose and easily available.
