Families sue over fatal Bay Bridge crash
2
The families of three men killed in a 2007 crash on the Bay Bridge are suing a Maryland agency and several drivers over the accident. James Hewitt Ingle and Randall and Jonathan Orff died and five people were injured in May 2007 when a trailer being hauled behind a sport utility vehicle came loose and caused a multiple-vehicle crash. The Ingle and Orff families are suing the Maryland Transportation Authority, the driver of the SUV, the owner of the trailer and two truck drivers and their employers for $19 million. Attorney Paul Bekman said his clients are suing the state because the authority knew accidents had happened before during two-way traffic on one span of the bridge. Officials have said the two-way traffic wasn't a factor in the accident. The lawsuit was filed in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court.

The Johns Hopkins University will hold a job fair May 2 for job seekers who may qualify for specialized science and administrative positions.

The university says it will recruit "experienced professionals and technicians in fields including laboratory work, information technology, grants and contracts administration, and finance." Most of the anticipated positions would require at least a bachelor's degree. Jobs would last at least 18 months and offer regular Hopkins benefits. Attendance at the job fair is limited. Applicants must register at http://hr.jhu.edu/jobfair by Wednesday. Further information about where and when to go May 2 will be provided at that Web site.
