Troopers: Log Truck Crash Likely Caused By Fatal Medical Condition
December 11, 2017
Alabama State Troopers say a log truck crash in Atmore early Monday morning was likely caused by a fatal medical condition.
Danny Wayne Boyington, 53, was southbound on Highway 31 when the truck he was driving ran off the roadway about 4:10 a.m., crossed railroad tracks running parallel to the the highway and came to rest in a wooded area on Byrne Drive, also known as Alto Way. He was pronounced deceased following the crash.
An unknown medical emergency was the likely cause of Boyington’s death, troopers said, not the crash.
The accident damaged the power system, reportedly leaving nearby manufacturing company Alto Products Corp. without power keeping about 100 or more employees home as Alabama Power worked to make repairs.
The accident remains under investigation by Alabama State Troopers.
