Alterations in Scott overhead urged by jury
Coroner's jury in the Tuneti triple tragedy verdict urged changes to the Roosevelt highway overhead. Recommendations include straightening bridge curves, replacing pipe railing with a three foot high concrete wall, and straightening the side abutments to rise perpendicular to the bridge floor. A letter from T C Frame of the state highway department noted no engineering error but suggested milder curves if rebuilt today. The verdict found the accident unavoidable. memory loss by a key witness hindered cause determination. Facts noted about a tire change hours before the crash and an eyewitness account of the car mounting the abutment before crashing.
