Drivers Asked to Stay Sober
The National Safety Council warned that about 200 to 260 people may die in highway crashes during the 30 hour New Year holiday period from 6 p.m. Tuesday to midnight Wednesday. Executive VP John D. Lawlor urged motorists to limit alcohol, noting over half of fatal crashes involve alcohol and that one ordinary drink per hour keeps driving ability largely intact. For a non holiday 30 hour period, about 95 deaths would be expected.
