The Virginian-Pilot reports that 51-year-old Jerry Holton was found dead in the back of the truck Thursday morning.
A preliminary report from the medical examiner says Holton died from lack of oxygen in addition to blunt force abdominal trauma.
Holton was operating the truck alone when the accident occurred.
