Haleyville man dies in truck accident
Senior Reporter
NATURAL BRIDGE - What authorities have
termed the worst truck accident at the intersection of highways 278 and
13 killed the driver of a mobile home toter and injured his passenger,
when the truck crashed head-on into an embankment and the escort
vehicle broke loose and crashed into the cab portion of the truck.
Haleyville resident Douglas Edward Upton, 58,
driver of a 1989 Volvo mobile home toter, was extricated from the
mangled cab by firemen, and was airlifted by Air Evac to UAB
Hospital, Birmingham, where he died around 2:55 a.m., authorities said.
Max Ward, 73, passenger in the mobile home toter,
was reportedly asleep in the back portion of the truck when the crash
occurred but was able to crawl out of the wreckage. He suffered
injuries and was transported from the scene by Regional Paramedical
Services to Lakeland Community Hospital, Haleyville, where he was
treated then airlifted to Huntsville Hospital, officials said. Medical
officials reported Ward in the ICU unit as of press time.
Lynn and Delmar firemen use the Jaws of Life to
remove Douglas Edward Upton from the mangled cab of his truck early
Thursday morning.

Postage increases to 42¢ on Monday
By Chad Fell
Postage rates are increasing Monday, May 12, with
the price of a first class stamp increasing one cent to 42 cents, but
the public can take advantage of an offer to keep the price of their
first class stamp “forever” at 41 cents.
A book of Forever postage stamps is available at
the post office for a limited time at a locked-in price, allowing a
customer to purchase the book. “And next week, it’s still
good for first class mail even though the rate increases,” stated
Jerry Earnest, officer in charge at the United States Post Office,
Haleyville.
“If they lay that book (of stamps) in the
drawer and forget about it, it’s still good. It will be good
forever. That’s the catch to it...We’ve had customers come
in and buy $5,000 (worth) of Forever stamps..” Currently,
about 6 billion Forever stamps have been sold, after going on sale
April.
