Chicago Fourth of July weekend traffic toll feared high
Chicago area officials warn the Fourth of July weekend could push traffic fatalities and injuries toward record levels. Charles M. Reed urges motorists to inspect brakes and mechanicals, curb speed, and drive defensively. He notes potential 1946 holiday totals around 500 to 600 deaths and tens of thousands of miles driven, with two thirds of fatal crashes at night. Local advisories promote using secondary routes to ease congestion and emphasize fatigue, alcohol, and headlight vision hazards.
