He added, "we know that many drivers are going too fast, since the Patrol stopped cver 2300 motorists last month for speeding." He pointed out persons iniured in a traf- IK accident at 60 miles an hour "r m-re are eight times more iikelv to die of their injuries than persons in lured at 20 miles . car in Lincoln last Wednesday an hour.
