death by a truck while driving his

were northbound on Route 72,
with the tractor in front.
The tractor apparently had one
light on its back end.
McGallicher, the truck driver,
told police he was confused by the
light and didn’t realize that it was
on a tractor
McGallicher told Trooper
Jeffrey O. Sees, the investigating
officer, that in the darkness he
mistook “a white spot” on the
tractor for an oncoming car that
was trying to pass in his lane.
McGallicher said he swerved to
the right to avoid the supposedly
oncoming car, but the left fender
of his truck caught the right side
of the tractor.
After impact, the truck driver
apparently lost control of his
rig, Trooper Sees said. The truck
spun across Route 72 into the
southbound lane, crushing Nolt
beneath the back wheels of the
trailer portion.
Route 72 traffic was closed for
a short time.
Nolt was pronounced dead at
the scene at 6:30 a.m. by a
Manheim physician, Dr. Peter
Nicolazzo. County Coroner Dr.
Newton Kendig, also at the scene,
said Nolt died instantly from
multiple injuries.
