Virginia Man Killed on U S 15 as Farmers Rally
A Virginia man, Louis George Dunn, 58, of Arlington, was killed in a head on collision on U S 15 near Thurmont when his southbound car crossed into the path of a northbound tractor trailer driven by Gerald Edminston of Davenport Florida. The crash, caused by failure to keep right of center, sent Dunn’s car and debris across the highway. Edminston was trapped for about ninety minutes and later released. Dunn was pronounced dead at the scene. Police and emergency personnel, including a state helicopter, responded to the scene.
