ICC May Seek Criminal Charges Over 1964 York Springs Crash
The Interstate Commerce Commission urged the U S Justice Department to bring criminal negligence charges against truck driver Herman E Elsasser and owner Kenneth Livengood in the June 14 1964 Harrisburg Road crash that killed Jacob Emlet and Ruth Beistline. Elsasser already serves a nine to 18 month term after a no defense plea to involuntary manslaughter. The ICC cited falsified logs and fatigue from goof ball pills as factors in the fatality and noted speeds between 65 and 70 mph prior to the crash.
