Traffic Accident Rate Alarming; August Toll Up Nebraska's traffic accident record for August reached a note j of alarm far ahead of the end , ot the month. The August traf fic death total of 35 for Nebras- ka fcr the first 22 days is the : highest August toll on record j for the State. The record for August for a full month is 34 deaths. If this trend continues the ; rest of the year. Nebraska's 1951 ; traffic death toll may reach a record high. With these facts, : many civic leaders ask "Why must this slaughter continue?" Colonel C. J. Sanders, Nebras ka Safety Patrol, stated "The zooming traffic toll is explained in part by heavier travel and increased number of traffic vio lations. Traffic on most of the state's highways have increased from 3 to 25 per cent. For the past month the Patrol stopped a record high of 10.466 motorists for traffic violations.'" The Patrol's records show that of August's 35 traffic deaths. 17 were the result of one-car acci dents. The majority of these were on straight level roads and were due to sleep or the driver losing control because of exces sive speed. The remaining 18 ol August's fatalities were two-car acci dents. Ten of these were head on collisions the result of one driver being on the wrong side of the road. Eight were due to intersection accidents.
