ANALYSIS OF ACCIDENTS GIVEN Of the 4,071 collisions between motor vehicles that occurred in Utah during 1945. 2,075 of them or 51 per cent occurred at road-way intersections, resulting in 11 fatal injuries. The other 1,9'96 were collisions between motor vehicles at resulting in 22 fa-tal injuries, 12 of which were head-o- n collisions; 4 were side- - swipe collisions; 4 rear-en- d col-lisions, and 2 collisions between improperly parked cars. The high percentage of col-lisions by two motor vehicles at intersections would indicate the need for more rigid control at such places. It was interesting to note that in 86 per cent of all accidents and 64 per cent of the fatal acci-dents, there was clear indication of driver violation of existing regulations. Of the 174 persons killed by U'iiftio 4tciikiKs on the high-ways of Utah in 1945, 58 were pedestrians. Eighty-tw- o per cent of the accidents wherein pedes-trians were fatally injured, an-alysis indicates pedestrian viola-tion of traffic regulations which would indicate the need for more rigid control of pedestrian traf-fic. There was an increase of 44 per cent in fatal injuries over 1944 with but an increase of 17 per cent in motor vehicle mile-age traveled. Of the 9,826 motor vehicles in-volved in accidents during 1945 7,796 were passenger cars; 1,445 were trucks, taxicabs or buses; the other 585 were motorcycles1 or other forms of motor driven vehicles. Of the 9,826 motor vehicles in- - volved in accidents there were but 375 in which defective equip ment was involved- Of the 9.479 drivers involved in automobile accidents, 5,899 or 62 per cent of the drivers involv-ed had from 5 to 11 years ex-perience as drivers. Of the 9,479 drivers involved in motor vehicle accidents, 7,357 or 76 per cent of the drivers re-sided within 25 miles of where the accident occurred. 529 or 5.5 per cent of them were out-of- - state drivers. The balance were residents of the state. This report was given by the Utah Safety Council. SUMMER BAND TO COMMENCE Summer band program will start Wednesday, June 5, un-der the direction of Joel P.
