Interstate 10 Site
Of Massive Pile-Up
By BOBBY 8UTPHIN
Massive car pile-ups on fog-
shrouded Interstate 10 near
Baytown Monday morning
caused the death ot one man
and injuries to at least three
others.
Dead is Leon Francis, 35, of
Lake Charles, La., a truck driv-
er who had stopped with his bon
to help a Baytown policeman
try to divert heavy traffic from
the scene of an earlier accident.
Traffic was tied up about two
hours all along the west bound
lane extending from near the
Cedar Bayou Gulf plant to toe
West Main intersection — about
two miles. Visibility was less
than 100 feet.
Francis was hit on foot about
7:30 a.m. by toe 10th car In-
“Car* were whizzing by at 75

Two Houston women had

tang, and her passenger Sandra
