The honoree received a sil ver bowl from Martha Dendy faculty and other county faculty members; a costume jewelry 'Accident Team' 1$ Honored The South Carolina Highway I Departr special investi gating team approach to re search into highway collisions was given southwide recogni- , 4 tion this week. C. W. Dorman, the Depart- v, ment's traffic safety coordina tor, made a 30-minute pre sentation Thursday (August 20) about the teams at the Region III meeting of the National Highway Safety Bureau in Mont gomery, Alabama. South Carolina is the only state in the region so far to have the special investigating team, which will soon be re quired under the National High way Safety Act. Starting in May 1969, detailed investigations were made of about 200, or 35 per cent, of tlie fatal collisions in the state last year. This year, every fatal acci dent is being investigated by the tea ms--at least one team in •ach county, consisting of a Highway Patrolman, an en gineer and an automotive *pecialist--to seek out the causes of accidents on the state's highways. About 400 such investiga tions ha*e been completed so far this year. Aside from the long-range ^ research benefits, the special investigations have resulted in numerous specific improve ments in the areas of law en forcement, motor vehicle re- rgulatlon, highway construction and highway maintenance, and are considered to have played an Important role in the High way Department’s many-facet ed accident prevention pro grams. A downward trend in fatali ties has been in evidence for several months, after an up ward climb during the first several months of the year. Significantly, according to a Highway Department spokes man, the number of fatal ac cidents is down by nine this year--501 fatal accidents through last Monday, compared to 510 fatal accidents through August 17 last year. On that day, also, the fatality count nar rowed to the smallest margin this year, 613 this year com pared with 611 on the same day last year. However, at midweek, re ports on “delayed deaths'— persons who died sometimes even days or weeks after an accident—began to push the figure back up. On Thursday, the 1970 count to date showed 622 fatalities compared to 614 for 1969 through that date. “That makes us about one per cent ahead of last year at this time, but travel is up eight per cent this year over 1969. And the reduction in the number of fatal accidents—as distinguished from fatalities— Is encouraging; our greatest gain in saving lives is in bring ing this total down.’ He saidSouth Carolina’s pre sent death rate per 100 million miles of highway travel is now an estimated 5.3, which places the state 13th from the bottom among all the states. This com pares with being 50th in rank ing two years ago. “However, this progress does not in any way lessen out concern over highway totalities, nor can it be per mitted in any way to lessen oar efforts for highway safety,’ the spokesman said for the Department, which is charged witt 11 of the 16 safety stand ards under the National High way Safety Act set from the Young Adult Choir of FriendshipAME Church; and a candle set from Mr. and Mrs. McQuilla Hudson.
