Highway Patrols Strengthened After June Death Toll
State police will boost highway patrols in counties with highest death rates after 26 deaths in the first 12 days of June. Capt. H N Rexroad said extra patrolmen will be drawn from counties with lower June death rates until fatalities decline. Wyoming County shows the highest rate, followed by Barbour and Mason, with projections of up to 65 deaths by month’s end if trends continue.
