This was a bad year for motor vehicle accidents in Southall. Although the total of
persons killed or injured was lower by 25 than in 1963, it was still 37 higher than the previous
year, and the number of deaths was doubled and included a child of school age. The number
of children injured, however, was slightly lower, i.e. 59 as against 68 in 1963 and 63 in 1962.
Five of the eight persons dying as a result of motor accidents in Southall were Southall
residents but six Southall residents died as a result of road accidents occurring outside of
the Borough.
