Large $26,665 verdicts after Erie truck blaze destroys Odd Fellows building
A Brie county jury ordered three trucking firms Motor Age Lines Buffalo Direct Transportation Co Erie and Lyons Transportation Co Erie to pay $26,665 in damages in a crash and fire that destroyed the Odd Fellows building in Fairview. One driver died, and the postmaster stock and lodge furnishings were among the losses. The collision occurred at Route 98 and Route 20 when a Motor Age truck backed onto Route 20 and struck the other truck led by Reed. The blaze spread to the building housing the post office and lodge rooms. The verdicts included $2,900 to Ferdinand Niebauer for stamps, $87,900 to Olga Hauck for her husband’s store loss, and various lodge damages totaling over $13,000 plus building destruction.
