"30,000 Pounds Of Bananas" - Harry Chapin

I grew up in Old Forge, PA and now live in Dunmore, PA (both neighboring towns of Scranton, PA).

Scranton, PA is where the accident happened that Harry Chapin is singing about in this song.

The driver was hauling a truckload of Bananas and lost his brakes on a steep hill.

The link leads to the Songfacts page for the song, where you can also access the lyrics.
