$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')ederal safety officials said auto fatalities dropped almost 10 percent in 2008 through October. If the trend holds up for the year's last two months, highway deaths could reach their lowest level in the 42 years that records have been kept. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday there were 31,110 auto fatalities the first 10 months of 2008. That's a 9.8 percent decline over the same period in 2007, when there were 34,502 fatalities.

"I'm thrilled about these numbers," Kelly said. "When you talk about reductions in traffic fatalities in one year you are usually talking about hundreds in a good year. The fact that deaths are down 3,000 so far this year is staggering."
