WINCHESTER CRASH KILLS VA. DRIVER

A driver was killed in a three-car collision during a Late Model Stock race Saturday night at Winchester Speedway, the Frederick County Sheriff's Department announced Sunday.

Michael Clore, 42, of Madison County was pronounced dead upon arrival at Winchester Medical Center.

The sheriff's department was called to the half-mile dirt track about 10 p.m. Saturday after the car driven by Clore went out of control and hit the outside guardrail between turns 1 and 2, a police spokesman said.

Clore's vehicle crossed the track, hit the inside guardrail at the entrance to the pit area, then was hit broadside by a car driven by Gary Stuhler of Greencastle, Pa. Stuhler's car then was hit by the car driven by Charles Omps of Winchester.

Stuhler had minor injuries and was not hospitalized. Omps was not hurt.

The sheriff's department is investigating the cause of the wreck.

FOOTBALL - Hebron suffers knee injury

Injuries to running backs Vaughn Hebron, a former Virginia Tech standout, and Kevin Bouie gave coach Ray Rhodes a bit of a scare as Philadelphia Eagles veterans reported for their first official day of training camp.

Hebron's injury was more serious. He injured his right knee in the morning practice session when he collided with defensive lineman Rhett Hall. Team spokesman Ron Howard said Hebron would have a magnetic resonance imaging test on the knee today and that the Eagles would know more then about his status.

Bouie, the first of two seventh-round draft picks by the Eagles this year, separated his left shoulder.
