A Pittsburgh truck driver escap-
ed with minor injuries early last

Westphall suffered injuries to his
left shoulder and knee. He was in
a dazed condition when brought to
Lancaster General Hospital by oth-
er truckers parked near the scene

pital records indicated.
Police said the operator of the
second truck as Guiles A. Ross,
36. Jamestown, N. Y. Ross told
police he had started to drive onto
the Harrisburg pike and his line of
vision as obstructed by other
trucks parked along the road.
Westphall’s truck. owned by the

traveling east, struck the left front
fender of Ross’ truck, then contin-
ued on for 125 feet before running
down the bank.
Police estimated damage to the
Westphall truck at $5000. The
vehicle was carrying 23,000
reunds of lamp black. Damage to
the Ross $650, police
said.
