Planks Taken From Bridge Create Trap In County Roadway
State Police and County Roads Board investigated planks removed from a county bridge over Tuscarora Creek on the road from Charlesville toward Yellow Springs. A Frederick motorist, William Blank, 36, escaped injury after driving into the 14 foot plank gap, damaging his station wagon. Authorities found the missing planks, assessed damages at about $5, and delayed action pending counsel review. The act, possibly a dangerous joke or a deliberate trap, remained unexplained as officials sought motives and noted the rarity of such a case.
