Accident On Chesapeake Bay Bridge ~ Man Falls Overboard

SANDY POINT, Md. (AP) — Authorities say a man has died after he was thrown from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge when his disabled car was rear-ended.

The Maryland Transportation Authority says the man was one of three people pulled from the water below the bridge in separate incidents on Monday.

Authority police spokesman Sgt. Jonathan Green says the 70-year-old man got out of his Honda Accord of the eastbound span. That's when a large truck hit the car, which knocked the man over the jersey wall and into the water about 50 feet below.

The man was pronounced dead at a local hospital and a passenger was treated for a medical emergency.

Rescuers were called out twice more Monday to pull people from the water below the bridge, including a man who jumped.

Eastern Shore Man Identified

A 78-year-old Eastern Shore man died Tuesday morning after an accident in which he struck a tractor-trailer, then continued driving off the road and hit a Caterpillar grader, according to state police.

George Roberts Stevens Sr., of Belle Haven, was driving a 2002 Ford Ranger pickup truck on Route 13 in Accomack County, just north of Nelsonia, when the accident occurred at 7:27 a.m., said Sgt. Michelle Cotten of the Virginia State Police.

She said the Stevens ran into the back of the tractor-trailer, causing his airbag to deploy and filling the pickup truck's cabin with smoke. Stevens then drove around the tractor-trailer, went off the road for about 500 feet and slammed into a Caterpillar grader, according to police.

Cotten said investigators believe the impact with the Caterpillar caused Stevens' death. George Wharton, a passenger in the pickup truck, was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
