According to the Casey Co. Coroner, Thomas Wayne Sayers froze after running his truck off the road and trying to reach help. On Saturday, Sayers was driving his truck when he tried to avoid a tree that was blocking the snow covered road. Investigators said Wayne lost control and went over an embankment. He managed to get out and onto the road but the cold was too much and he was found dead on the road Sunday night.
Wayne's son found him dead after losing contact with his dad and went looking for him.
Family members feel like a guard rail is needed in that area of the road.
