Deceased Name: Julie A. Stumpf : One killed in truck, car wreck Oliver Springs woman killed in Bethel Valley Road wreck
A woman was killed Monday night on Bethel Valley Road when the car she was driving was hit nearly head-on by a tractor-trailer.
An Oak Ridge Police Department press release said Julie A. Stumpf , 33, 401 Valley Road, Oliver Springs, died at the scene. The driver of the rig, Charles E. Miller Jr., 30, of Corbin, Ky., was not injured. Reports indicate that Stumpf was not wearing a seat belt.
Stumpf was driving a 1992 Geo Storm east toward Oak Ridge about 7 p.m. when she apparently tried to pass another eastbound car, the release said. Miller told police that he drove onto the shoulder of the road in an attempt to avoid the collision.
The front driver's side of the Geo hit the driver's side of the rig near its fuel tank and front wheel, reports said. The impact caused the rig to turn over, landing on the passenger side. Fire reports said the victim was trapped in the Geo and that firefighters had to use the Hurst tool to remove her body from the wreckage.
Bethel Valley Road was closed to traffic from Mount Vernon Road to Walker Branch Road from the time of the crash until shortly after 3 this morning, the release said. Traffic was rerouted to the normally closed original Bethel Valley Road.
The release said the trailer was loaded with wood chips and that they had to be unloaded in order to upright the trailer.
In addition to ORPD, responding agencies were the Oak Ridge Fire Department, the Anderson County Emergency Medical Service, and the security and fire divisions of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant.
Fire reports said the truck leaked about 50 gallons of diesel fuel and that firefighters used wood chips from the trailer to soak up fuel. The department's hazardous materials bus went to the scene a short time later and used other absorbent material to finish the cleanup, reports said.
A Loudon woman and her children were injured later when the car they were in went off the road on a curve on Old Bethel Valley Road and into a ditch.
Margaret G. Smallen, 16516 Poplar Springs Road, Loudon, was traveling Old Bethel Valley because traffic was rerouted there because of the other accident.
She was taken by LifeStar air ambulance to the University of Tennessee Medical Center at Knoxville, and Lynn Smallen, 18, and Adam Smallen, 14, were taken by ORNL ambulance to Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge. All were wearing seat belts.
Reports said Margaret Smallen was driving a 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier west on Old Bethel Valley when the car failed to negotiate a curve and slid on wet grass. It stopped on top of the ditch with its middle section suspended over the ditch.
Fire reports said Margaret Smallen sustained a head cut, a broken leg and chest injuries. A UT hospital spokeswoman this morning said she was in a regular room and listed in stable condition.
MMCOR spokeswoman Lisa Skinner said Lynn Smallen was treated at the hospital, then released, and that the hospital had no record of treatment for Adam Smallen.
