Man Killed In Dump Truck Accident

A man is dead after a dump truck crash Saturday in Cocke County. The Tennessee Highway Patrol says a dump truck filled with road mix was working on Rocky Top Road Saturday afternoon. The driver of the truck, 58 year old Dennis Sewell, was backing up the truck but backed over the edge of the roadway. That caused the dump truck to start to tip over and roll halfway down the mountain. Sewell perished in that crash.
