An Invitation to the Coroner
The piece warns that highway travel carries higher fatality risk than urban driving, with 1934 figures showing 13,090 highway deaths from 167,000 accidents versus 8,000 city deaths from 286,000 accidents. It notes speed, relaxed driving on smooth highways, and summer travel as factors increasing somnolence and crash risk, urging vigilance for coroners’ concerns.
