A GOOD reduction in traffic deaths for December failed to give Virginia the third consecutive year of death reduction, as 1972 deaths totaled 1238 against 1218 for 1971, reports Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police.
A record breaking 114 deaths for March, ^1972 more than made the’difference, he said, noting that .there were only 83 for Mar£c&, 1971. The 120 of December, 1971, were reduced to 108 in 1972.
