Highway Accident North of
Bluffton Disrupts Electric
Service
Lima Truck Driver i'm Hospital
Here Recovering From
Injuries

Electric service for Findlay and
other cities in this area served by the
Central Ohio Light and Power Co.
from its Bluffton generating plant
was disrupted for periods ranging
from 40 minutes to four hours early
Sunday morning when a large trans
port truck loaded with steel bars
snapped off a power line pole and
broke high tension lines one and one
half miles north of Bluffton.
Robert SCHNEIDER, 26, of Lima, driv-
er of the truck, is in the Bluffton
Community hospital where he is re-
covering from severe cuts, bruises and
factured ribs.
He crawled from the crumpled cab
of his truck as the vehicle burst into
flames, and was taken to the hospital
in the Diller ambulance. The truck
was completely destroyed by fire.
SCHNEIDER was driving southwark
toward Bluffton. He told investigat-
ing officers he became drowsy and the
truck veered across the road and
struck the power pole some distance
off the pavement on the opposite side
of the highway, about y mile north
of the county line.
Three 34,500-volt lines were snapped
in the mishap, cutting off the current
for Findlay, Mt. Cory and other towns
at $50 a. m. Most of Findlay's es-
sential circuits had current within 40
minutes but it was 10:40 a. m. before
the break was repaired here by pow
er line crews.
The truck was owned by the Huber
Motor Transportation Co., of Toledo,
and was loaded with steel shafting
enroute to Lima.
