BODY OF MAN FOUND IN RIVER

State police found the body of a man Saturday evening in the Little River who had apparently wrecked his truck the previous evening.

B.H. Dickerson, dispatcher, said Jeffrey Scott Altizer, 28, of Dublin was found after police broadened their search for the driver of a wrecked truck.

Altizer ran his pickup off the right side of Virginia 605 and flipped it about a mile south of Virginia 232 in Montgomery County, Dickerson said. Altizer is believed to have died at the scene Friday, and police did not know how his body got in the river.

Altizer's injuries appear inconsistent with the accident, Dickerson said, and an autopsy will be done Monday. Dickerson said there is no suspicion of foul play, but the cause of death was undetermined Saturday.
