BISMARCK (AP) -- The North Dakota Highway Patrol has questioned two truck drivers who made deliveries around the time another driver was run over and killed in the state's oil patch last month.
Troopers say 40-year-old Eugene Norris Jr. was killed Sept. 29 at an oil well 10 miles south of Williston. He was outside of his truck, filling a tank with water, when he was struck and killed by another truck.
Sgt. Darcy Aberle told the Bismarck Tribune that investigators have questioned two drivers whose deliveries were most closely timed to the death. He says neither driver reported seeing Norris.
Aberle says an investigation found Norris was run over by the drive axle on the passenger side of a semi.
