Lifesaver Plan to curb Texas grade crossing deaths
The Texas Safety Association backs Operation Lifesaver to cut railroad grade crossing accidents. Since 1972 the program has reduced crashes in Nebraska by 26 percent and in Kansas by 19 percent with fewer injuries and fatalities. Gov. Briscoe and DPS chief Col. Speir support the nationwide safety drive. Organizers offer talks, bumper stickers, brochures, and lifesaver candy, inviting groups to arrange a presentation by sending requests to Jim Johnson in Houston.
