Traffic Carnage In Texas In '58 Claims 2342 Lives
Texas public safety director Colonel Garrison Jr reports 1958 traffic accidents killed 2,342 people and caused $347,311,000 in losses. He uses an acre of land and dollar bills to illustrate the fiscal cost, noting most crashes occurred in rural farming areas. The figure could buy thousands of farms, appliances, vehicles, and livestock, yet cannot repay lives lost.
