Obituary- Luman, Julie 2

Kills Julie Luman


An 18-year-old Rossville High School graduate was killed and a 15- year-old youth critically injured Friday, August 17, 1979, when their small pickup truck smashed into the back of a stopped gasoline tanker truck one and one-half miles north of Delia in Jackson County, authorities said.

The victim was identified as Julie Luman, Delia. A Jackson County sheriff’s dispatcher said Julie was a passenger in the truck, which was driven by Bruce W. Lee, also of Delia.

A Rossville resident said Lee was the victim’s stepbrother. The resident said the two were on their way to Rossville so Lee could attend football practice.

Friday evening, a spokeswoman at Stormont-Vail Regional Medical Center said Lee was in the facility’s intensive care unit. Sheriff’s officers said he suffered head injuries, two broken arms and facial and shoulder cuts.

The sheriff’s dispatcher said the pickup truck ran under the rear of the stopped gasoline tanker truck. Richard Wood, Rossville, had been driving the tanker truck. He was not listed as injured.

There was no fire. The Rossville Fire Department was dispatched to the accident scene with its rescue equipment. The Jaws of Life tool had to be used to remove the victims from the wreckage.

Deputies said the victim died at the scene of severe head injuries. Her body was taken to Penwell-Gabel Funeral Home. Julie’s obituary is printed elsewhere in this issue.
