Stone County authorities report a man was killed on Friday afternoon when he was run over by his own truck at a local boat ramp.
The victim was identified as 62-year-old Vincent Rutledge of rural Mountain View.
According to reports, Stone County deputies were called to the Martin Access boat ramp along the White River, southeast of Mountain View shortly after 2:00pm Friday.
When law enforcement arrived, the victim had already been transported to a landing zone to be airlifted to a hospital.
A witness that was with Rutledge at the time of the accident who said Rutledge was backing his boat down the ramp but was having some sort of mechanical problems with his truck, stating the gear shifter was loose. Rutledge then parked the truck, put a rock under a tire and crawled under the truck to work on it. As Rutledge was performing the work, the truck rolled over the rock and onto him.
A companion that was with Rutledge was in the boat at the time of the accident. The witness jumped put of the boat and got in the truck, putting it back into park and calling for help.
Deputies report Rutledge died at the scene.
