With tne September traffic
toll up to 126, state patrol sta-
tisticians pointed to several
causes of most of the traffic
tragedies.
Of the 1,173 collisions report-
ed last month, 146 occurred be-
cause drivers did not observe
right-of-way regulations which
permit vehicles approaching in-
tersections from the right to
pass first, provided intersec-
tions are not locally controll-1
ed.
The drinking driver was held
responsible for 129 accidents
while 122 others were caused
by vehicles traveling too close
: to centers of highways and
streets. Seventy-seven were
brought about by fast driving
and 50 because of improper
passing of other vehicles.
