Ernest T. Duraso

  Many, June 23 (Special)

  State police are continuing an investigation into the cause of a
truck accident in Sabine Parish Friday, which killed 38 year old
Ernest T. Duraso of Cypress.

  A witness following behind Duraso's truck told officers that she
heard what sounded like two explosions, and saw smoke coming from
the truck cab, just before it left the highway, and smashed into
a creek bank.

  However, an investigating officer said today, there was no sign
of an explosion in the twisted wreckage of the bottling company
truck.

  Duraso's body was removed from the cab with a blow torch.
