Kansas traffic deaths dip in 1968 but rise in other areas
Kansas recorded 644 traffic fatalities in 1968, down 20 from 1967 and below the 1966 peak of 733. Claud R. McCament, state traffic safety director, cites increased travel and safety programs as factors while urging driver education, eye exams, and under-18 training. He notes younger drivers account for a large share of crashes and calls for stronger inspections to meet federal standards. Pedestrian deaths fell from 47 in 1967 to 43 in 1968.
