Police discovered the body of a missing truck driver in the remains of a semi truck wreck that went unnoticed for more than 24 hours.
On Tuesday, officers in Woodburn, Indiana, discovered a severely damaged semi truck in a ditch off U.S. Highway 24 in Woodburn, Indiana. The body of the driver, who was later identified as 52-year-old Doug Buzzard, was found inside the truck.
The truck is believed to have veered off the road sometime on Monday evening.
Indiana State Police say the fall was so steep that it was impossible to see the truck from roadside.
Buzzard was reported missing by his employer when he failed to show up for a scheduled delivery. His location was tracked through his phone’s GPS system.
The Indiana State Police said foul play is not suspected. An investigation is underway to determine why the truck veered off the road.
