A man was killed Friday afternoon after his vehicle went out of control in Alton Park as he was slumped over the steering wheel.
The driver of the truck, William Grant, was unresponsive on the scene and was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
At approximately 4:20 p.m., the Chattanooga Police Department responded to the head-on vehicle crash at 600 W. 38th St.
The Grant truck was traveling south on Alton Park Boulevard and suddenly veered left off the roadway into a vacant lot.
The truck continued through the vacant lot and onto W. 38th Street, striking an SUV that was traveling westbound on W. 38th Street.
Witnesses advised that the driver of the truck appeared to be slumped over the steering wheel before the collision.
At this time it is unclear if the death was medical or a result of the crash.
Occupants in the other vehicle had minor injuries and were also transported to a local hospital.
