DELLE, Utah — The death of a truck driver whose body was found inside the sleeper cab of his semi along Interstate 80 is being ruled suspicious.
Early Thursday, a co-worker noticed the driver's GPS was not working and drove to the Delle on-ramp in western Utah to check on him. Once the co-worker arrived, they found the driver dead inside the cab.
"The death is suspicious in nature and we suspect foul play," the agency said.
The area is usually only frequented by drivers who stop at the nearby gas station, as well as a few dirt bikers or gravel cyclists.
Officials are checking with the gas station to see if its security cameras caught what may have occurred. It's not known how long the semi truck was parked where it was found Thursday morning.
While the death is suspicious, the Utah Highway Patrol said there is no cause for concern among the public.
The driver's cause of death is now being investigated by the State Bureau of Investigation.
