EUREKA — A Lindon man died when he rolled his garbage truck on a curving highway in rural Utah County late Friday morning.

Killed was:

John Earl Thompson, 43.

The accident occurred about one mile outside of Eureka along a section of Highway 6 that the Utah Highway Patrol described as having some tight S-turns. Speed has not been determined as a cause for the accident, and alcohol and drugs have both been ruled out as possibilities, said Doug McCleve, UHP public information officer.
