6 Killed When Truck Hits Cars Slowed in Antwerp, N.Y., Work Zone ANTWERP, N.Y. (AP) - Six people, including three children, were killed on an upstate road on Thursday when a tractor-trailer rear-ended a vehicle in a work zone and caused a chain-reaction crash, the State Police said. Five of those killed were riding in a sport utility vehicle that was part of the crash and which burst into flames after it was hit, Trooper Jack Keller said. Trooper Keller gave this account: The tractor-trailer ran into the back of one vehicle, causing collisions with a State Transportation Department truck and the S.U.V., which was registered in New York. The vehicles had stopped or were moving slowly because of road repaving on Route 11 in the Jefferson County town of Antwerp. The driver of the Transportation Department truck was Lewis Lottie Jr., 44, of Nicholville, N.Y., Trooper Keller said, and he was flown to Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse with head and chest injuries. The tractor-trailer driver was identified as James A. Mills Jr. of Myerstown, Pa. He was taken to a hospital for treatment and will be tested for drugs and alcohol, Trooper Keller said. The passengers in the S.U.V. were identified by The Watertown Daily Times as Laurie Dana, 42, of North Lawrence, N.Y.; her daughters, Caitlyn, 14, and Lauryn, 11; Janet Dana, 69, of North Lawrence; and Shannon Planty, 14. The driver of the first vehicle hit, Maryann Gregory, 59, of Dickinson Center, N.Y., was also killed, Trooper Keller said. Signs on the tractor-trailer indicated that it was owned by MBM Customized Foodservice Distribution, based in Rocky Mount, N.C. A company spokeswoman did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
