| A Bear Run man died early Thursday morning shortly after his truck crashed against a
hillside on Euclid-Nicut Road. Funeral arrangements are incomplete at the Stump
Funeral Home for 70-year-old Harold McCumbers, whose address is Orma. A family
friend said it looked like McCumbers might have had a heart attack.
His wife, Virginia, a passenger in the truck, crawled from the vehicle with few
injuries.
Driver struck hillside
Truck was in precarious situation
McCumbers was "partially entrapped" in a situation which involved the truck coming
to rest in a precarious position. Emergency service workers continued CPR on the
man for about one hour. "It was touch and go from the beginning," said an emergency
worker.
