The Marion Star from Marion, Ohio • 5

The Marion Star, Saturday, Dec. 29, 1990 PageJ Patrol cruiser involved in chain-reaction crash nut Jr. By GREG RAYBURN Staff Writer No traffic citations have been issued yet in connection with a four-vehicle crash Friday afternoon involving a state highway patrol cruiser on the Prospect Street overpass. Trooper. Brian Landis was treated and released later Friday from Marion General Hospital after he injured his collar bone.

He was transported to the hospital by another state patrol cruis-: er. According to Dave Clark, the investigating city patrolman, Landis was responding to an emergency call and drove into the rear of a pickup truck driven by James Roberts, 1485 Boise St. After Roberts' truck was hit, two other vehicles in front of him were struck from behind. The truck and two cars were stopped at a traffic light when the patrol cruiser initiated the crash, Clark said. Roberts is reported in good condi-j tion at MedCenter Hospital after he was transported by the city's ambu-; lance.

The two other vehicles involved in the accident were driven by David Galbraith, 390 Girard and Stephen Pytlary, 5500 Marion-Upper Sandusky Road. These vehicles in-. curred minor damage, Clark said. The patrol cruiser was extensively damaged, he added. "The cruiser struck the.

rear of Robert's 1984 Ford F-250 truck. That would cause almost any vehicle a lot of damage," Clark said. The truck also was damaged, he added. No damage estimate has been assessed yet. Although no citation has been issued, the trooper probably will be cited for failure to maintain assured clear distance to vehicles in front of him because he didn't stop in time to avoid the crash, one law enforcement officer said.

Ix Mike Megison of the Marion post of the State Highway Patrol told The Star his office will investigate the crash. Any citations would be issued by the city police department since the crash occurred with the city limits, Megison said. "We will begin an administrative investigation to determine if any procedures were violated. This is typical procedure, and will take as much as a month," Megison said. Marion Police CapL Robert Turner said he was unsure if a citation would be issued.

"The (accident) report is not complete (press time Friday). It may have to be reviewed by the police chief and police inspector. There may not even be a citation issued. It is undetermined at this time," Turner said. Monday would be the first day the chief or police inspector the highest ranking city police officials would review the accident report, Turner said.

In crashes that involve law enforcement vehicles, it is common that high-ranking officers approve reports. Typically, on-duty police captains approve reports. Turner said. CRUISER HEAVILY DAMAGED One of the Marion post or the state highway patrol's cruisers was extensively damaged in a late Friday afternoon accident on the Prospect Street overpass. Four vehicles were involved in the chain-reaction crash.

Dow gained four points. Volume was 112 million shares and advancing stocks took a 7-to-6 lead over declining issues. The major item of interest was the report on the Index of Leading Economic Indicators. The news of the past week continued to signal a recession. The government reported a 1.2-percent decline in November's index and a whopping 10.5-perccnt fall in Durable Goods orders.

Both numbers seemed to fall on the extreme side of the quickening pace of sales at the major retail chains. On the political front, the headlines and rumors continued over the stalemate in the Middle East The markets bid farewell to 1990 in the week ahead.
