A 23-year-old Troutville man was killed after he apparently lost control of his truck in North Roanoke County early Thursday.
A newspaper carrier found Timothy D. Martin partially pinned under his 1986 Toyota pickup on Catawba Creek Road at 3:58 a.m., according to Roanoke County police. Martin had severe head injuries. Police believe the single-vehicle crash happened just after midnight.
Police said Martin was traveling east on Catawba Creek Road when he ran off the pavement about a mile west of Moses Family Road. He was not wearing a seat belt.
