The comment came at the request of a reporter who recently wrote about a motorist who claimed a passing Sav- age Industries truck had damaged her car, but she could not get the company to pay a claim for repairs. The spokesman said she had investigated the claim, but it did not fall within the parameters required before the company would pay for damages..
