The National Safety Council reported a slower pace of highway fatalities during the long Independence Day weekend, with 392 deaths on the third day of the four day period from 6 p.m. Wednesday to midnight Sunday. The council remained cautiously optimistic the total would fall below last year’s toll of 453 deaths for a comparable period.

The AP survey showed 732 deaths in last year’s similar period and 553 for any summer holiday, while boat and non vehicle incidents added 35 boating deaths and 119 drownings.
