THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

"SELIGMAN, Ariz. -- A tractor-trailer carrying low-level radioactive items rolled over Sunday on Interstate 40 near this northern Arizona community when it rear-ended another vehicle.

The accident killed Jasper Brown, 55, of Conway, Mo., and critically injured Tim Harig, 25, of Springfield, Mo.

Both were traveling together in the tractor trailer; Brown had been in a sleeping compartment of the vehicle. Harig was in critical condition at Kingman Regional Medical Center Sunday evening.

The accident was not threatening public health, said Officer Tim Mason, spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

The truck was carrying protective clothing, towels, tools and other items used in processing radioactive material.

The items, which contained low-levels of radioactive solid metal oxide, were scheduled to continue their journey from Pacific Gas & Electric Co. in Avila Beach, Calif., to a Westinghouse Electric Co. service center in Madison, Pa., Mason said."
