flashlight) [photo], views the charred body of 12-year-old Charles Ray
Frye, who with his brother, Andrew P. Frye, aged 32, of 903 Thirty-
first street, died of burns received in a fire which destroyed a
gasoline tank truck Friday night on route 220, a short distance north
of the Bellwood intersection. The youth was burned to death in the
flames, while the older Frye, operator of the truck, died Saturday
morning at the Altoona hospital. According to state police, the truck
apparently jackknifed and overturned after swerving to avoid hitting
an automobile.
