Parksley, Va. — Detectives with the Virginia State Police are investigating a pickup truck crash in which a Delaware man was found dead.
The accident occurred at 7:14 a.m. June 24, southeast of Parksley, Accomack County, Va., said police spokeswoman Sgt. Michelle Cotten.
The dead man was identified as Anthony Wayne Wilson, 46, of the 500 block of Blaine Drive, Felton, Cotten said.
Their initial investigation, which still was under way as of 4 p.m., indicated the 1994 Chevy ran off the highway, overcorrected, hit an embankment and crashed.
Wilson’s body was discovered next to the truck, she said. He was identified through his driver’s license.
“It is not known if he was the driver or the passenger,” Cotten said. Wilson’s family has been notified of the accident, she added.
Virginia authorities have requested warrants in order to search the truck, she said.
Cotten discounted initial reports in the local press that Wilson had sustained a gunshot wound.
“He was dirty and disheveled, and we have to wait until he is examined by the medical examiner,” she said.
