A fiery truck accident in Maryland ruined an Allenport family's plans
for a joyous Christmas yesterday. A 39 year old Huntingdon Countian,
Donald B. Cramer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Batney Cramer of Mount
Union, R.D., was killed on Thursday when his truck crashed head on into
a tailor shop in Reistertown, 17 miles north of Baltimore, Md.
Immediately after the crash, the wrecked truck and the tailor shop burst
into flames. Cramer perished in the cab of his vehicle. His body was
burned beyond recognition. Sgt. Frank DiPietro of the Reistertown
District, Baltimore County Police Department, said Cramer's body was
identified by papers taken from his partially burned wallet. State
Police of the Huntingdon sub-station were notified of the fatality by
teletype and had the sad duty of informing the Allenport parents of the
trucker that their son had perished in the crash-fire. Cramer was
operating his own truck at the time of the accident. He was working for
Charles Shetrom Trucking Company of Huntingdon, transporting a load of
fire brick from the Harbison- Walker Refractories Company plant at
Clearfield to Baltimore. The Cramer truck, a 1963 Chevrolet, was
demolished, damage being estimated at $10,000.00 by Officer George Watts
who investigated the pre-Christmas tragedy. The interior of the tailor
shop was gutted by fire, damage being estimated at "about $5,000.00" by
Sgt. DiPietro. Harry Reicher, owner of the tailor shop, had just stepped
into a rear room seconds before the Cramer truck came crashing into the
front of the three story brick building. Reicher escaped injury.
Baltimore County police described the accident scene as " a terrible
mess". Fortunately there were no pedestrians on the Reistertown pavement
in front of the tailor shop at the time of the accident. Sgt. De Pietro
said the crash happened at 8 a.m., at the intersection of U.S. 140 and
Maryland Route 30. This is a T intersection. Cramer was traveling on
U.S. 140 and had to make either a right or left turn on Route 30. There
is a traffic light to govern the flow of traffic. Instead of making a
right or left turn or slowing his speed, Cramer went straight, crashing
into the tailor shop. Police are investigating the possibility that
Cramer fell asleep at the wheel or suffered a heart attack as he
approached the intersection. Cramer had worked as a truck driver for
more than 20 years and was considered to be an excellent operator. His
father told the Daily News that his son planned to return to his
Allenport home on Thursday afternoon to spend Christmas with his family
and friends. The father, Batney Cramer, said his son was in good health
and he was at a loss to explain the cause of the accident. He said he
was informed that it was foggy at the accident scene on Thursday, but
conditions were not bad enough to warrant his missing of the
intersection. The deceased was born on Sept. 3, 1925 at Allenport, Mount
Union, R.D., a son of Thomas B. and Cora (Barron) Cramer. In addition to
his parents, he is survived by two children, Linda Ann and Thomas
Cramer, and one sister, Mrs. Denworth (Helen) Naugle, Cleveland, Ohio.
Interment will be made in the Three Springs Cemetery.
