Caption: "CUTS AND BRUISES were the only injuries the driver received when this heavy truck, loaded with 30,000 pounds of vegetables, went out of control east of Gore on U.S. 64, and plunged down a 30 foot embankment, overturning several times. Trooper Harold Ragsdale said Ben Mayhew Lindy, 22, of Jackson, Fla., was thrown from the wreckage and miraculously escaped serious injuries even though both shoes were torn off his feet."
