1870 SO Fatalities
Involved Speeding,
Drinking Drivers

More than a third of the 98
drivers involved in fatal acci-
dents on Delaware streets and
highways in 1859 had been
drinking and many were speed
ing. This was reported yester-
day by the Delaware Safety
Council in its annual analysis of
motor vehicle accidents. The an
alysis is based on police reports.
The SO drivers were involved in
73 fatal accidents in which SO
persons were killed in Delaware
last year. In 1858 there were 100
drivers involved in II fatal ac-
cidents in which "a persons were
killed. Of the 98 drivers in
1885 fatal accidents, 35 had
been drinking. Of these, Is were
listed as obviously drunk" and
Is others had their ability i'm
paired in the judgment of the
investigating officers.
The drivers were frequently
found to be in violation of sew
eral traffic regulations-some
were both drinking and speed
ing. OF the SO drivers in fatal
accidents last year, 81 were
speeding and 20 were on the
wrong side of the road. A dozen
had disregarded a stop sign or
signal, and four disregarded a
warning sign or signal. Seven
fell asleep while driving. Three
drivers had been inattentive,
the investigators found, while
two proceeded without having
the right of way. Improper pass
ing was involved in one fatal
accident, and fainting at the
wheel in one other.
In addition to the 35 drivers
who had been drinking, four
pedestrians involved in fatal ac-
cidents had been drinking. Thir-
teen pedestrians and 70 passen-
gers made up the SO persons
killed in traffic accidents last
year.
Weekends Deadliest
More fatal accidents occurred
on weekends and between mid
night and / am. than at any
other time. The analysis by day
of the week, showed that of 73
accidents, an even dozen occur
red on Saturdays, another dozen
on Sundays and a third dozen
on Mondays. There were ten
each on Tuesdays and Fridays,
nine on Wednesday and eight
on Thursdays.
Nine of the 73 accidents hap
pened between midnight and l
am, while six occurred between
S and 6 am. There were five be-
tween 4 and 5 pm, five others
between 5 and 6 am, and five
more between 10 and ii pm.
November fatal accidents num-
bered IL, while June and July
had ten each and April had nine.
There were five accidents each
in February, March, August,
September, October, and Decem-
Der; only two in January and
one in May.
Of the SO drivers, II were re-
sidents of Delaware and 81 were
from other states. Among the
victims, GA were Delawareans
