Troy Police Nab Seeks Quick Petersburg Market In Shambles

By WILLIAM R BROWNE Three persons, including two

women inside a store, were in­jured about 930 a.m. today when a runaway dump truck loaded with hot mixture of as­phalt blacktop, raced down the steep hill of Rt. 2 and crashed into the Sawyer's General Store in Petersburg.

Injured in the accident were: Jefferson Nuness, 145 2nd

St., Albany, owner and driver of the buck.

Mrs. Helen Haynes, 49, of Petersburg, wife of Earl Haynes, garage proprietor, who was inside the store.

Mrs. Mary Rose Sawyer, owner of the store, who also was inside the store. The Grafton Rescue Squad

Ambulance, which went to the scene with the Berlin ambu­lance and Petersburg Fire De­partment, removed Mrs. Haynes to Putnam Memorial Hospital in Bennington, Vt. At noon today her condition was serious. She sustained second degree burns from the hot tar mixture to her left arm and leg; possible internal injuries, broken left leg, possible fractured left hip and multiple cuts and bruises.

Nuness escaped with a broken middle finger of his right hand and hand lacerations. Mrs. Saw­yer was taken to her home and suffered from deep shock, pos­sible other injuries, and cuts to her right arm. All were treat­ed at the scene by Dr Peter W. Borecki of Petersburg.

The spectacular accident oc­curred when the dump truck came careening down the hill leading into the village when the brakes on the vehicle ap­parently failed. Tt was en route to the Rt. 22 paving project.

The truck first struck the con-crete block corner of the first floor of the two story stone ,nd frame structure, spewed hot blacktop and concerete blocks and merchandise in the interior and sidewalk. Then the truck swerved back out into tne highway, headed toward the Taconic Trail The vehicle traveled a distance of about 200 feet into the highway spew-

g out more of its load.

The United States therefore believes that action must be taken now to assure that the functions of office of the Secretary General are performed effectively and fully while agreement is sought on the appointment of a new secretary general.
