Police have identified the victim of a fatal accident that happened southwest of Exeter Monday morning.
The deceased is William Inch, 62, of St. Marys.
Shortly after 9:15am on Monday, police, paramedics and the South Huron Fire Department responded to a 911 call at a grain elevator located on Kirkton Rd southwest of Exeter. A man was found and was unresponsive. The injuries proved to be fatal and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The preliminary investigation has revealed a truck driver had just finished dropping off his load and he had cleared the weigh station. Prior to leaving the grain elevator property the driver stopped to check on the condition of his trailer. A short while later he was found lying pinned beneath one of the tractor-trailer tires.
The Ontario Ministry of Labour and the Huron County OPP Detachment continue to investigate.
