Trailer Collision Damages Route 40 Oil Tanker
A tractor trailer rear ended a fuel tanker on Route 40 near New Market early today causing about 2,690 gallons of fuel to spill. James Gordon Hershman, 36, of Stevenson Virginia, was seriously injured and hospitalized in Frederick Memorial in fair condition. Police said Heishman, driver of the other truck, was found at fault and charges are pending. Rescue crews freed Hershman using power tools after the wreck collapsed the cab and pushed the trailer into a snow bank.

A 32 year old defendant was freed of an assault and battery charge in an appeal hearing in Circuit Court this morning. Judge Patrick M. Schnauffer noted lack of state witnesses undermined conflicting stories from two women involved in the August 27 incident. Mrs Exelyn A Bowens claimed she was attacked at the Rice home while seeking her ex husband. Mrs Dorothy Rice testified Bowens came to the door demanding a message and then a fight occurred. Bowens said Rice pulled something from her bosom during the scuffle. The case also includes unrelated march 2 traffic matters and other minor fines. a separate plea of guilty to speeding brought a $10 fine. Landslides in Milan kill four, raising northern Italy death toll to 16 from recent bad weather.
