WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. — The body of a 20-year-old man found on top of a semi-truck in Grand Junction is believed to have fallen from an Interstate 70 overpass in Wheat Ridge, according to the Wheat Ridge Police Department (WRPD).

Vincent Sager was found on a United States Postal Service (USPS) semi-trailer delivery truck around 6 a.m. Thursday morning, WRPD said.

According to WRPD, the driver told Grand Junction Police Department (GJPD) that while he was traveling overnight from Kansas to Glenwood Springs, he heard a loud noise while driving on I-70 in Wheat Ridge.

The driver told GJPD he pulled over, found damage on top of the semi-truck, proceeded to Glenwood Springs, transferred the trailer to another truck and continued to Grand Junction where the body was discovered, WRPD said.

WRPD said it will be the investigating agency because it is believed the victim died striking the vehicle.
