Bristol celebrates its fifth year with no road fatalities on town roads as of 10:50 last evening. The last highway death occurred Feb 2946 on Hope Street after a Warren motorist strike, with fatalities arising seven days later in hospital. A recent light snow and heavy mist threatened the record, yet road crews and cautious driving kept the streets safer. Police urge motorists and pedestrians to practice common sense and courtesy to sustain the record.
