Harold A. Beiter, 59, of 8075 County
Road, East Amherst, died early today
at Our Lady of Victory Hospital in
Lackawanna from injuries suffered
yesterday afternoon when his semitrailer
truck collided with another
truck on the State Thruway, near the
Eden-Evans Center interchange.
The driver of the other truck, Daniel
E. Stevenson, 34, of Alexandria, Va.,
was reported in serious condition at
the hospital with a concussion and
multiple contusions.
State Police said Stevenson had
parked his truck alongside the
Thruway to check for an oil leak when
a Continental Baking Co. truck, driven
by Beiter, struck it in the rear.
The impact of the crash
disconnected the cab from the parked
truck and sent it 100 feet. Belter's rig
came to rest across both eastbound
lanes of the Thruway, which had to be
closed for two hours while the
wreckage was cleared.
