ICC Blames Brakes For Five Deaths In Maryland Crash
The Interstate Commerce Commission found a runaway truck near Cumberland Maryland October 19 caused five deaths and $39000 in property damage. An air-brake failure plus driver error led to the vehicle’s 9 mile per hour downgrade into Frostburg and into a car killing four occupants and injuring the driver. The truck, 20 tons of sheet steel, was operated by Daniels Motor Freight Inc of Warren Ohio. The ICC urged stricter enforcement of safety rules and noted hose failure prevented brakes from functioning. Paul Stewart Myers Jr 25 of Dover Pa was the driver lightly injured. Five victims named include Francis XN Spearman Nellie K Thomas Grace Evelyn Lloyd and Clifford Fearer all of Cumberland. Samuel Brenneman of Springs Pa drove the bulldozer victim.
