r\EATH, in the guise of heavily loaded
motor trucks, rides the highways pf
Texas every day and every night. The
toll of human death and injury of these
vehicles is appalling.
In the five-year period, 1932 to 1936,
inclusive, trucks in Texas have partici-
pated in 8,416 highway accidents in
which 2,195 persons were killed and
11,962 injured.' In 1936 alone, their
record stood 2,208 accidents with 3,323
persons injured and 576, killed. These
actual records of people killed, as shown
by Texas newspapers, compared with
the number of deaths resulting fnm all
motor vehicle accidents, as given by the -.
Bureau of Vital Statistics in Austin,
show that the average Texas truck par-
ticipates in twice as many fatal acci-
dents as the average passenger <car.
Likewise, as might be reasonably ex-
pected from their greater weight and
size, and as shown by the records of, the
Texas Railroad Commission, the Car-
rier - for-Hire' truck accidents, during
1936, have resulted, vehicle for vehicle,
in three times the humber of fatalities
as for the average passenger 6dr.
Increased liability to highway acci-
dent forms an inseparable result of BIG
truck operation. But even now, the
threat of greater highway hazards
hangs over the people of Texas. News-
papers report that operators Of BIG
trucks, have organized for the purpose
of securing an increase in weight and
speed limits, already too large. These'
are the elements, weight and speed,
which, in highway accidents, speHi
