A Davis Junction man suffered fatal injuries yesterday morning following an accident that took place at the Orchard Hills Landfill located in the 82 hundred block of Illinois 251 North.
48-year old John Overstreet was pronounced dead at the scene after he was pinned between a semi-tractor and trailer.
Ogle County Sheriff's Police report that Overstreet was at the rear of his trailer removing his tarp between his trailer and another semi-tractor that was parked behind him.
The driver of the second semi-tractor from Elmwood Park had stopped his semi and exited to take his tarp off his trailer.
Police say that the truck started to roll forward and pinned Overstreet between the trailer.
The investigation continues from the incident.
An autopsy is scheduled on Overstreet today.
