Man Run Over While Sleeping Under Tractor-Trailer
Pine Grove, Pennsylvania -- A Lewisburg man sleeping beneath a parked tractor-trailer was run over and killed when the driver returned to his truck and headed off.
State police in Pine Grove, Schuylkill County say 30-year-old Jamie Brown was killed accidentally while sleeping under the cab of the tractor trailer parked at the Gooseberry Farms Truck Stop.
Police say Brown and a friend were traveling when they decided to spend the night sleeping on an embankment outside the truck stop early Saturday.
Troopers say Brown got cold and crawled under the cab of the tractor trailer for warmth.
Then just before 6 a.m. the driver, not knowing Brown was under his vehicle, began to back up and Brown was crushed to death.
