Authorities are investigating the death of an individual found dead near their running mini-van on Sunday morning. The circumstances surrounding the incident suggest the victim was run over by their own vehicle. The discovery was made at approximately 8:27 a.m. when a truck driver reported finding a body near an empty mini-van on Interstate 75 Northbound at an entrance ramp in Gordon County. Gordon County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Fire-Rescue crews responded to the scene, locating the body. Due to the unusual nature of the scene, the Gordon County Coroner and Georgia State Patrol Troopers were also called in. Preliminary investigation indicates the victim, who was not a resident of Gordon County, exhibited signs of being run over by a vehicle. A mini-van, identified as belonging to the victim, was found lodged against a guardrail nearby. The vehicle was reportedly still in gear with the engine running. A family member of the victim later confirmed that the deceased was driving the mini-van prior to the incident. At this time, law enforcement officials have found no evidence of foul play or indication that any other individuals were involved. The Georgia State Patrol is leading the ongoing investigation, with assistance from the Gordon County Sheriff’s Office deputies and the coroner. The identity of the victim is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. Further details will be released as the investigation progresses.
