Man killed in accident

Tuesday, April 14, 1998 | 10:29 a.m.

Troopers said Emil Berke, 66, was traveling northbound on the highway Monday evening and apparently was having problems with his pickup.

He was traveling at a slow speed and a tractor-trailer tried to pass him from behind just as Berke turned left into a driveway.

That flipped the pickup and Berke, who was not wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the big rig, William Sparkes, 62, of Bulls Gap, Tenn., was not injured seriously.
