TENNESSEE — The man killed after he was struck Tuesday at 9 a.m. by a work truck in the 600 block of South 8th Street is identified as Jace Spears, 60, of Columbia, Tennessee.

The investigation shows that Spears got into a 2015 Ford pick-up truck in order to move the vehicle which was blocking the entrance to a construction zone. Spears had one foot inside the truck and the other outside the open driver’s side door when he lost his balance and fell to the ground. The truck rolled over him. A nearby co-worker heard Spears call for help and placed the truck into park.

Spears was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died.

Spears was an employee of Civil Contractors in Franklin, Tennessee. The pick-up truck was registered to the company.
