Fatal Crossing Crash Shuts New London Traffic
Two investigations began into why crossing gates failed at the Main street crossing of the Big Four in Greenwich, New London. Truck driver Sean A. Allen, 42, of Cedar Rapids Iowa, was killed as the trailer separated from the cab and dragged along the tracks. The gate malfunction was blamed on a defective air valve. Probes by the railroad and State Highway Patrol await coroner Dr. J D Bradish’s final ruling.
