Texas Automobile Deaths Reach Wartime Levels
Austin reports Texas automobile deaths in the past five years exceed wartime tolls, with about twelve hundred fatalities yearly, rising as 1934 figures advance. Weekend trips, inexperience, speeding, wrong driving, and neglected lights are key risks while vehicle condition, especially brakes, matters too. Albert Darville of Houston stole his wife's wig to fund a new romance, and Coral Fowler of Salt Lake City broke her leg after being tripped dancing with her brother.
