Auto Insurance Losses Hit New High In Iowa 1968
Iowa straight year after year shows rising auto loss payouts. 1968 estimates total 82 million dollars, up from 71.2 million in 1967 and 61 million in 1966, driven by more accidents including fatal ones, higher repair costs, medical care, and a May hail storm and tornadoes that caused about 4 million in vehicle damage. Over 7,000 autos damaged, average loss per car near 600. The Iowa Insurance Institute backs stricter driver enforcement and vehicle inspections.
