"What are wi' waiting fur' Somi' innocent victim
to !«• dotapitated?” Zeida Suniga of Salem asked
the Hmiw Transportation Suht omrnittee
Suniga was seriously hurt in September 19HB
when a hi pound rot k dropped from an Interstate
5 overpass Ih'Ivvin'ii Salem and Woodtuim crashed
though a i or window onto her < host and face.
Suniga's hushand. Trank, was driving the car.
He said Ins w ife would have fieen dec apitated if
the huge rix k had landed slightly differently
"I ask your help in protec ting our travelers from
w hat really are attempts to murder or seriously
injure." he told the < omrnittee
Zeldn Suniga told legislators polii « reports show
100 to 1 2ri objei Is are thrown off of overpasses
eac It year
Also testifying was Jessu a Allen of Vancouver,
Wash . whose face was smashed in 1985 by a 7
pound roi k thrown from on 1-5 overpass north of
Albany onto her family's pickup trtu k
Allen, now 20. said she was angered to later read
pole e reports that showed there had been a dozen
other incidents of objects tossed from overpasses
in the area
Her father. Terrem e Allen. said the s, reening
program needs to lie a< t eleraled
'll is my hope it will not take a death to be the
c atnlvst." he said.
Zeida Suniga said both incidents ( hanged the
courses of the victims' lises
"We will never fully ns over." she said.
A hill introduced at f rank Suniga's request.
HB2507. requires the state Transportation Depart
ment to install screens on all new overpasses and
on at least 10 existing overpasses each year.
Suniga said the agency decided to erect 12 over
pass screens a year after the Allen incident. But
only one had been installed by the time of his
wife's injuries three years later, he said.
Dwayne Hofstetter. safety engineer for the stale
Highway Division, said the Transportation Com
mission later had scaled hack the timetable so
screens are installed on four to six overpasses a
year
I le said the work on each overpass costs close to
$30,000 and there are almost 400 overpasses in the
state.
The measure also was endorsed by representa
tives of tile Teamsters Union and the Oregon
Trucking Association.
Rep Chuck Norris. D-Hormiston. the subcom
mittee chairman, said lie will schedule another
hearing on the measure.
