An Atmore man died in a crash involving a semi-truck in Santa Rosa County, Fla. on Tuesday, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Craig Sullivan, 59, died after sustaining injuries from the truck after it unloaded a load of peanuts, according to the FHP.
The FHP said a semi-truck was parked unloading a load of peanuts. After unloading the cargo, the driver, Anthony Mincey, 43, of Edison, Ga., received communication to pull forward.
