A crash killed a Verona truck driver early Monday when his rig slammed into the back of a stopped car on the inner loop of the Capitol Beltway in Maryland. Jeffrey Meade, 49, was driving a truckload of Samuel Adams beer between 4 and 5 a.m. when he approached a 1993 Honda Accord on Interstate 495 at Old Georgetown Road in Montgomery County, police said. The rig smashed into the car, continued off the road partway up an embankment and partially overturned on the highway, spilling the beer, police said.
Meade was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said they knew neither the condition of the driver of the stopped car, Phillip St. G James, 28, of Germantown, Md., nor where he'd been hospitalized. Meade was driving for Meade Trucking. An official with the company declined to comment. Maryland state police are investigating. No charges had been filed as of Monday night. SOURCE: News Virginia
