Up until July, they pointed out, the state traffic death toll kept running consistently 50 to 60 less than at the corresponding time in 1955. Too much speed, carelessness on curves and in traffic, and typical "vacation driving" (trying to get too far too fast) were blamed for the recent sharp upswing.
