RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - Police in Rapid City have released the identity of the driver of a dump truck who died after the truck tipped to one side.

Authorities say the incident occurred Thursday when 74-year-old Alvin Howe raised the dump trailer that was filled with gravel. Police say the load was too heavy and caused the truck to roll and fall onto a flat-bed trailer.

Howe was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.



Police say the incident is under investigation.
