SANTA FE SPRINGS -- Authorities released the name Saturday of a 50-year-old Santa Fe Springs man who was run over and killed by a driver-less big rig.

Fernando V. Lara died at the scene of the incident, which was reported about 2:20 a.m. Friday on Pioneer Boulevard, just north of Slauson Avenue in an unincorporated county area near Santa Fe Springs.

A sheriff's deputy who happened to be patrolling in the area apparently witnessed the crash.

CHP officials believe Lara was underneath his truck doing some sort of inspection when, for unknown reasons, the truck moved forward, crushing Lara.
