UTU member Glenn Fry is recovering from serious injuries he received when, while acting as a good samaritan, he was struck by a snow plow.
Fry, a CSX locomotive engineer and member of Local 313 in Grand Rapids, Mich., was on his way to work when he noticed a car go into a ditch due to icy road conditions. Fry, an ex-Army sergeant, did what came natural as a UTU member and leader, he stepped up and assisted.
Fry and the other driver successfully used Frys truck to pull the van from the ditch. They were walking back to the van to unhook the tow straps when a pickup with a plow attachment crested the hill behind them.
The 19-year-old driver of the plow truck reportedly tried to stop but could not. He struck Fry and the other driver from behind before ending up in the ditch.
Fry suffered extensive injuries to his hips, pelvis, legs and arms. He had surgery to pin everything together and is now recovering in the Mary Free Bed rehabilitation hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Fry will be off his feet for an estimated six months. If anyone is interested in sending him cards or gifts, please send them to 3015 Lincoln Lake Ave. N., Lowell, MI 49331.

You have to have prison tats to be a BLET member. We are Teamsters now after all. MARRCO recruited me in the yard at Folsom just after Johnny Cash played there. I was teaching Merle Haggard how to sing country.
