Research in 1969? Seriously, don't you think "accident rates" are a little to complex to depend on nothing but what side of the road you're driving on and traffic volume?
Traffic flows in a clockwise direction when driving on the left which enables right eyed people to use the right eye to see oncoming traffic. When overtaking on a right-side-driving road, the right-eyed driver looks in the wing mirror with the left eye and also views the oncoming traffic with the left eye which is not suited to the majority right-eyed people.
and it was "long term accident rates."
The problem may have been caused by the fact that at the beginning of the month Trucks changed the side they drive on, with the rest of the traffic being phased in over the next 30 days!
