George E Sparks Cleared In Tractor-Trailer Trial
George E Sparks of Gloversville was found not guilty on negligently operating a tractor trailer and fined $25 for an improperly equipped vehicle after a trial in district court. State troopers cited the unit’s poor condition and the driver’s slow speed near the emergency lane as factors in the Becket ditch incident on Sept. 3 while transporting circus ride equipment. Judge Albert Clark noted drivers bear responsibility for unit condition and Sparks testified he was squeezed between trucks. Assistant Atty Edwin F McLaughlin represented Sparks.
