Death toll increases with spee
AUSTIN (AP) —Traffic deaths in Texas have
increased 17 percent — an average of 40 more
per month — since the state began raising
highway speed limits Dec. 8, the Austin Amer-
ican-Statesman reported Sunday.
In rural areas, the parts of the state pri
marily affected by higher speed limits, fatali
ties increased 28 percent, the newspaper’s
computer-assisted analysis found.
Deaths increased 30 percent on rural in
terstate highways, which got the first 70 mph
speed limit signs, according to the study.
At the current pace, about 3,600 people will
die in traffic accidents in Texas this year — the
highest toll since 1985, the newspaper said.
Some traffic safety advocates said the
numbers confirm their worst fears about
Congress’ decision to repeal the federally
mandated speed limits of 65 mph on rural
interstates and 55 mph on most other roads.
“It’s a nightmare. It’s worse than I even
thought it would be,’’ said Bob Draper, se
nior vice president of the National Traffic
Safety Institute.
The institute advises companies and
teaches safe-driving courses in 20 states, in
cluding Texas, where it helps train state
troopers.
“But it’s not totally unexpected,” Draper
said. “You now have people driving not just
70 but 80, 85, even 90 mph. At those speeds,
when an accident happens, people die.”
But other experts, including state trans
portation officials, said it’s too early to tell
“It's a nightmare. It’s worse
than I ever expected.”

whether higher speed limits are causing
more traffic deaths.
“It’s possible, but it’s only one possibility,"
said Dev Tulsiani, an engineer for the Texas
Department of Transportation.
Tulsiani acknowledged that traffic deaths
have increased this year, but said, "We don’t
know why.”
One reason, Tulsiani said, might include
more drivers on the roads.
Draper said "the trends are disturbingly
clear” in the data analyzed by the American-
Statesman that covered about seven®
of accidents statewide between Dec.
Texas officials declared it legal to ini
mph, and June 30, the most recent
that the Texas Department of Publi
has entered into its computer.

Bomb suspects ask for separate trial
DENVER (AP) — Timothy
McVeigh and Terry Nichols, who
forged a friendship on a shared
distrust of the government, re
turn to court this week as ene
mies blaming each other for the
Oklahoma City bombing.
McVeigh’s attorneys argue
Nichols was the primary figure
behind the bombing that killed
168 people and that McVeigh
ingenuously trusted him.
Nichols’ attorneys say
McVeigh’s “violent extremism”
appalled Nichols.
They hope to convince a
judge that they should be tried
separately, arguing that jurors
will be unable to distinguish be
tween the evidence admitted
against each man and fairly
judge them individually.
“The cases against Mr.
McVeigh and Mr. Nichols differ
dramatically in every relevant
respect: the quantity and quality
of the evidence against each, the
degree of culpability for the
crime demonstrated, and the
character of each defendant for
sentencing purposes,” said
Nichols’ attorney, Michael Tigar.
Prosecutors will push for a
joint trial at the hearing that be
gins Wednesday, arguing that
most evidence will be used
against both defendants and that
jurors will be able to sort it out.
They also believe a joint trial will
be more economical and less
traumatic for bombing survivors
and victims’ families.
