Driver in crash that killed county worker in Feb. fined $1,000

(Aug. 18, 2016) Marion Jones, 59, of Stockton was found guilty in Circuit Court last Wednesday on charges stemming from the Feb. 22 accident that killed one county worker, Scott Tatterson of Pocomoke City, and severely injured another, Wade Pusey of Seaford Delaware.
According to the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, Tatterson and Pusey had exited their county-owned dump truck on Greenbackville Road at a work site south of Stockton, when Jones’ 2010 KIA attempted to avoid the site by exiting the travel lane, but swerved back to avoid an oncoming vehicle, resulting in the wreck.
Tatterson was pronounced dead at the scene.
Pusey spent considerable time in the operating room following the crash, and his condition had been both upgraded and downgraded during his nearly two-month stay. The extent of Pusey’s injuries has not been revealed.
Jones was fined $500 for each offense, for a total of $1,000.
Jones also had two previous convictions for failure to obey traffic control directions prior to the February crash: one in Oct. 2015 and one on Jan. 1, 2016. He was found guilty and fined $90 for each offense.
