Holiday Road Toll Falls From Previous Year
The New Year holiday period saw fewer traffic deaths than Christmas and last New Year’s Eve. A 145 toll stood about a day before midnight as weather eased in many regions though snow lingered in the northern Mississippi Valley and Rockies. The National Safety Council projected 360 to 440 deaths for 78 hours ending Sunday, while Christmas deaths reached 720 and last year’s New Year toll rose to 474. Negotiations at the Capitol between transit unions and company officials continued through the day with Gov. Harrison urging a prompt settlement and a status quo if talks linger overnight.
