Man sleeping under semi at gas station fatally struck, police say

A man lost his life after he was hit by a truck that he was resting underneath at a gas station in Nashville, Tennessee over the weekend.

The incident took place around 4 a.m. on Saturday, August 19, at a gas station in the southern part of the city, according to WZTV.

Officials say that a semi truck was parked in an alley behind the gas station when a man crawled between the second and third axles to sleep.

The truck driver later told police he pulled forward and felt a bump, then found the man dead on the ground near his truck.

Investigators are working to determine the identity of the deceased.

Police say that no charges are expected.
