Police in Shawnee say a 61-year-old trash truck driver died when his truck rolled over him.

Gary G. Anderson, of Ottawa, died in the accident Friday.

The accident occurred when Anderson was getting ready to back his truck down a street to pick up trash. Police said he got out of the unoccupied truck and the truck rolled over him.

Tom Coffman, a spokesman for Deffenbaugh Industries, expressed sympathy for the family of Anderson, who had worked for them since April 2009.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration was expected to investigate.
