Holiday Traffic Toll Sets Memorial Day Record
CHICAGO AP reports 608 people died in traffic accidents over the Memorial Day four day weekend, a new holiday record. The toll exceeds the 560 deaths from a comparable nonholiday period and falls short of the National Safety Council’s projected 650 to 750. Council president Howard Pyle called the result a relief and suggested it hints at a potential reversal of a trend that began in 1961 with the baby boom on highways.
