"A third of the time." says the National Safety Council, "it's just the re verse- - the car strikes the tra in." The Council says the car does the hitting in half the night time accidents and in about 1 out of 5 daytime car-train ac cidents. About 1,300 persons are killed annually in grade cross ing motor vehicle acidents. The reason? Misjudged speed, starting up too soon after a train has passed without checking for trains from the opposite direc tion, ignored warning signals, drinking and driving, speeding, and familiarity with frequently used crossings, according to the Council. Motorists can prevent car-train accidents, it says, if they will: 1. Approach highway-rail in tersections with their vehicle un der complete control, heed the round advance warning sign and be prepared to stop if necessary. 2. Use extra precaution if they can't see far down the tracks. Be sure the way is clear before crossing the tracks. 3. Obey traffic rules, and cau tion others to do the same. 4. Observe crossing signs, sig nals and markings. Preventing highway-rail traf fic accidents is, in the opinion of Jack C. Trimble, secretary of the Council's Highway-Railroad Crossing Committee, "the job of traffic officials, the rail roads and the public." "But it isn't a fiftv-fifty pro position," he says. "The driver must bear the biggest burden. He can stop quicker or swerve to avoid an accident, while a train can't. His is the more man euverable vehicle. "It's a needless tragedy for motorists to run into the side of or in front of trains. "It is almost invariably the motorist's fault. It is his respon sibility to be alert for signs, to watch his speed, and to stop if necessary. SATELLITE SCARE Altadena, Cal.
