ROCK HILL A truck driver died Monday morning while driving an empty logging truck on Heckle Boulevard in Rock Hill, police say.

At about 7 a.m., police were called to a single-vehicle crash after the truck veered off the side of the road, crossing the median and several other lanes before stopping in the woods, said Rock Hill Police Executive Officer Mark Bollinger.

Wayne Anderson, 61, of Black Mountain, N.C., was headed towards Newport past Hollis Lakes Road and wasn't carrying any cargo.

No other injuries were reported and no other vehicles involved in the accident, Bollinger said.

The police department's traffic accident investigation team is still on scene trying to determine what happened, Bollinger said, but it appears he might have had a medical issue prior to the wreck.

Police called out a wrecker to get the truck out of the woods, he said.

York County Coroner Sabrina Gast was unable to name a cause of death, but she said it's likely "natural."

Officials are still waiting for autopsy results to return before releasing an official cause of death.
