Overturned truck and car accident. A Pacific Coast Motor Freight Co. semi-trailer truck, driven by Earl W. Brook of Portland, Oregon, and loaded with 500 barrels of cherries and berries was overturned, causing damage to two cars in October of 1944. The accident was caused by a combination of the motor stalling, the malfunction of the airbrakes and another vehicle which blocked its safe passage.
