Box H7 Salt Lake City, Utah 227 5 54 Highway Loss on County Roads: 14 Lives, $1,325,000 Elder County had 14 trafdeaths during 1954, two of them In Brigham City, with an economic less of $1,325,000, the Box fic Utah Safety Council reported this week. ' The council reported this was an increase of two over 1954 when 12 were killed, two of them In Brigham City. Breaking down the accidents the council reported three of the fatal accidents were collisions, accifour were dents, .two auto-fixeobject accidents' and pne overturned on the highway. Loss Is $22,000,000 The council said that Utahs 209 fatalities, which occured in 176 crashes in 1954 and which involved 232 drivers, resulted in an economic loss of $22,000 000. Tabulations on all accidents will not be available for several weeks, but the council estimated that the total will be close to 'auto-pedestria- n d involved with nearly 5.000 persons injured. Collisions involved 120 of the fatal accident drivers, 47 of them ran off tlje road, 37 of them hit pedestrians and 28 in other types of crashes. A comparison between the 1953 and 1954 Utah record shows a 17 percent increase in collisions, 27 percent decrease in running off the road, 22 percent defatalicrease in ties, and a 53 percent Increase in miscellaneous types of fatal accidents. The 176 fatal crashes were nine fewer than in 1953, but there were more multiple-fata- l crashes in 1954, which caused total fatality figure to be the same in both years. The economic loss includes property damage; hospital, medi cal and related expenses; in surance .claims; wage losses; reduced earning capacities and 17.000 and will have over 28.000 drivers, J.

The 110,000 figure is modified downward in accicases of multiple-deatdents and in cases of only one or two deaths in a city over a year.
