WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A 67-year-old man died Thursday afternoon after being run over by a tractor-trailer during an incident in the parking lot of Salem Leasing Corporation in Winston-Salem.

According to the Winston-Salem Police Department, officers responded to the scene shortly before 12:30 p.m. on Thursday. After arriving on scene, officers learned that Thomas Douglas Ander was "assisting with re-fueling operations" for a tractor-trailer.

According to police, as the driver of the tractor-trailer pulled out of the refueling area, Ander tried telling the driver that the fuel cap for his vehicle was missing. Police say Ander then "became entangled with the trailer" being pulled by the driver before he was ultimately run over.

Ander was pronounced dead at the scene. No other information
