A Michigan man died this morning after his son accidentally backed up over him at a truck stop in Ontario, Oregon.

Sgt. Mark Duncan told NewsChannel 7 that the 64-year-old truck driver was hauling a load of steel from Pocatello to Quincy, Wash., and had stopped around 7 a.m. at the Pilot Truck Stop in Ontario to inspect his brakes or check an air line.

The man exited the truck and while he was conducting the inspection his teenage son woke up and turned on the ignition, moving the wheels and crushing his father.

The victim has been identified as Franklin Pugh of Prudnille, Michigan.

The teen has been placed with the Oregon Department of Human Services and the agency is working to return the boy to his mother in Michigan.

Oregon State Police are assisting Ontario Police with the investigation. No charges have been filed.

Duncan says a truck inspector has been called in to determine what may have been wrong with the man's truck.
