Drivers the Victims in Two Deadly Truck Accidents

Two truck drivers are now dead from injuries sustained in separate accidents.

One driver, who was not identified in press reports, was driving a dump trucked loaded with brick and rubble in Plymouth, Penn., when his truck overturned and hit a utility pole. According to a report in the (Montgomery County) Times Herald, the driver was “attempting to avoid a merging problem at the intersection of Alan Wood Road when he apparently lost control of the truck and it fell onto its right side. The truck slide along the highway and struck the utility pole.”

In a separate accident in Monroe County, Miss., driver Chad Blankenship died from injuries sustained in a collision on Highway 45 near Okolona, Miss.
