Coroner and Auto Club Clash on County Death Toll
In Santa Ana on February 16, Coroner Earl R. Abbey and the Automobile Club of Southern California released different death counts for 1951. Abbey lists 1.5 fatalities from automobile injuries in Orange County while the Auto Club tallies 126. Abbey says his file covers only county deaths, while the Auto Club includes those dying outside the county who were transported here. Marines treated at Camp Pendleton and Long Beach hospitals are counted by the Auto Club but not Abbey, who argues the latter total is more accurate for overall traffic fatalities.
