National Guard Escorts Trucks in Alabama Protest Clash
National Guard troops and highway patrols guard convoyed fuel trucks as a nationwide truckers protest disrupts fuel depots across 29 states. Gov. Fob James orders armed escorts after a tractor trailer passenger was shot in Alabama while authorities monitor possible links to the blockades. Linda Pruett of Warner Robins, Georgia was wounded as a truck carrying her husband Fred was struck on U S Highway 82 near Northport. Tennessee officials move to curb blockades amid rising fuel shortages and service-station lines. Leonard Barnwell laments loss of control over protesters and avoids responsibility for their actions.
