Which is why multiple death traffic accidents seldom get a mention. An
event that occurs over 40,000 times a year is not news.

Multiple death traffic accidents seldom get mention?? There are ALWAYS
stories about fatal car accidents in every non-national paper I read. Of
course the NY Times won't report on a fatal car accident in Detroit, but
the Detroit press certainly will.
...

Well, to test your hypothisis, I did two searches of the 7-DAY STORY SEARCH
on the Detroit Free Press web site (www.freep.com)
and came up with exactly one automobile accident that was mentioned twice:

http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...WS06/602140466
http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...WS06/602140329

that involved 86 vehicles on the west side of the state. With no
fatalitites.
