	MIAMI, Fla. – Two men were killed and another injured Tuesday night when 
a light coupe and a loaded gasoline truck collided near the International 
Airport.
	William Henry Cook Jr., 25, identified by the Sheriff’s office as driver 
of the coupe, died enroute to the Jackson Memorial Hospital.  His passenger, 
John Witherly Giddens, 21, of Nashville, was killed instantly, said Deputy

slight concussion.
	Almost 2,000 gallons of aviation gasoline cascaded over the wreckage
