He and two others lifted the car off Mrs. Foster's body and comforted Matthew, Dilworth said. "He was crying and in shock. He had a bloody nose," Dilworth said. "I was trying to calm him down.

Just holding on to him." Mrs. Foster had four children, including one six months old, said Bruce Phillips, a lawyer for the family who surveyed the crash scene Monday. Rick Foster did not return a telephone message left for him at the hospital. Phillips said Foster likely would have no comment. A day after the wreck, skid marks chart the path the souped-up Dodge took down the short straightaway at Sumer-duck Dragway.

A bowed guard rail, crumpled chain link fence and smashed wooden bleachers also trace the car's flight. Two half-empty bottles of beer stood on the empty bleachers above where the Foster family sat as track owner Roger Curtis walked the one-eighth mile track Monday. "You don't plan for something like that," Curtis said. "It's one of those things that you know could happen but you hope it never happens." WARRENTON, Va. (AP) -Vickie Lynn Foster threw herself over her little boy, arms outstretched in a final act of maternal protectiveness that probably saved his life as it cost her own.

Mrs. Foster, her husband Rick and two of their children had front-row seats for a drag race Sunday when a hot rod skidded out of control and somersaulted into the stands. An amateur video shows the car headed straight for the family. It also shows Mrs. Foster, 36, lunging forward as the roof of the car slams into her body.

Her 5-year-old son is obscured in the film. "She pushed herself on top of the boy. She could see" the car coming, said Joe George, whose brother was at the wheel of the car as it jumped a guard rail and flipped over several times. Joe George, 36, played the video at home Monday, freezing the frame just at the point that the car glanced off Mrs. Foster.

Mrs. Foster was pronounced dead at the scene. Her son, Matthew, was flown to Fairfax Hospital, where his condition improved from critical to serious Monday, hospital spokeswoman Jane Albright said. "There was just panic in the stands," said George Dilworth, 17, a track employee who jumped out of the way of the create Your Own Flower Arrangement Come in and pick your own tlowers for 1 your arrangement iUn 1. j.

A passenger, Ruth Beale, 15, of Delmar was also listed in critical condition at the same facility Monday night. A third passenger, Irving Chavers, 19, of Mardela Springs was listed in satisfactory condition, a hospital spokeswoman said. Maryland State Police in Sal-' isbury said alcohol and driver error were factors in the initial crash. Investigators who reconstructed the accident will meet with the Wicomico County State's Attorney today to determine if and what charges will be filed against Davis.

No charges are expected to be filed against Wheatley, said Trooper 1st Class Kray Plunkert. Police and firefighters would not speculate Monday whether the second accident that killed Trice and Collins could have been prevented. As police continue their investigation, firefighters ir Sharp-town were uncertain 'whether anything could have been done to prevent Trice's death. At least two people at the scene had attempted to alert the driver of van of impending danger. Outside the fire station, flags were lowered to half-staff and a black wreath was placed between the equipment bay doors.

Many there planned to participate in Monday night's traditional firefighters' rite of draping the department's firetrucks with black bunting to mourn their dead comrade.

He said motorists should make an effort to move themselves and their cars out of the way of emergency personnel.

Wilson recommends that everyone take some type of first aid course and receive training in how to administer CPR. Wilson said if you have any further questions, call your area fire department for guidance. Chip Guy ably came from his father's own interest. "I think as he got older, he got the feeling of wanting to help people," the elder Trice said. "He didn't have to stop, but (then) he knew he had to.

He's not the kind of person to ride by and let someone else do it." Donald Steven Trice was a delivery driver for the Pepsi Cola Co. in Salisbury. He was scheduled to be married in April, White said. We've SIX ANNUAL Offer LAND: Wicomico rejects controversial proposals Soil 1 Emergency personnel said Monday the first thing you should do if you arrive on an accident scene is assess the situation and call for help. "Your own personal safety keep that in mind," Salisbury paramedic John Wilson, of Salisbury Headquarters fire company, said.

He said you should know your limitations, and that if you're not trained in first aid or cardiopulmonary resuscitation you should wait for trained personnel to arrive. "You can calm and reassure victims," Wilson said. "But if you're unsure of what you're doing, don't do it." Wilson said there are many making plans to convert the department's social hall into a makeshift chapel for a memorial service. "This wasn't even his (Trice's) call," said Assistant Fire Chief Billy White, at the Sharptown Volunteer Fire Department. This is what Donnie was trained to do.

He saw something bad and he tried to help people." Trice was a volunteer firefighter in Sharptown for three years and was the son of the first assistant fire chief in nearby Blades. "It's pretty rough," said Donald S. Trice Sr. "You never think your son is going to go before you." Trice, 44, said he used to take his son to the firehouse when he was a child, and that his son's passion for the occupation prob munity, didn't like it." The proposals Tilghman outlined in his letter represented the kind of growth management plan the County Council could support, he said. "There was no need to present something that can't be passed," he said.

Tilghman said the planning commission, floundering with the growth management charge, was pleased the County Council provided this direction. Corinne Les Callette, planning commission chairman, reserved comment pending a discussion with Tilghman later this week. Burnett felt the public supported 120 but admitted it would be hard to prove. "The fact that you've got the business community in favor of it is a first-time situation," he said. 'If there's anybody who doesn't like regulation, it's business." dude!" "He had that kind of attitude," said Mathias.

Ralph Sapia, who knew Idoni all his life, agreed, saying Nick Idoni Jr. was a driven businessman. "There was nothing he thought was insurmountable." "I feel bad for his dad (Nick Idoni Sr.) and his family," said Sapia. Idoni's father had also been a restaurant operator in Ocean City. Daily Times staff writer Chip Guy contributed to this story.

"I do think about what happens if we don't initiate good growth management: As farms get surrounded by development, it gets harder and harder for them to remain farms." The county's current rate of growth in rural areas now averages one house per three acres. Work said the joint task force would take up the issues at its Nov.

22 meeting. The planning commission had discussed asking the county to freeze subdivision approvals following a Sept. 10 public hearing on the new land-use measures. "The County Council was not 100 percent behind the idea of 120 and TDRs," Tilghman said Monday. "The planning commission took it to the public for a hearing and the reaction was pretty swift and straightforward.

Mathias recalled during the fight between the resort and the state of Maryland over Keno several years ago there was a fire at the House of Ribs and Mathias reported to the scene in his capacity as a volunteer firefighter.
