A man was killed in Trigg County on Saturday afternoon when his westbound truck struck an embankment along U.S. Route 68, resulting in his ejection from the vehicle, WKRN reported; this unfortunate event unfolded near the Fenton campground area, where the Trigg County emergency personnel responded to the distressing scene.
Attempts to save the man's life were made as Trigg County Sheriff’s deputies started CPR upon their arrival, but their efforts fell short, the man could not be revived and the tragedy of his passing was thus confirmed, details WSMV echoed in their coverage of the crash. The identity of the deceased has not been disclosed to the public as investigations continue and authorities are presumably contacting next of kin.
Local news outlets, including WKDZ Radio, reported that the victim was alone in the truck at the time of the incident and no other vehicles were involved in the crash but more details are expected to follow as law enforcement and emergency personnel piece together the moments leading up to the accident.
