Walter Samuel Boyd of Lithia died after falling beneath a truck at a James River Limestone quarry near Buchanan.
Clifford Wells, chairman of the board, said Boyd was driving a truck loaded with about 35 tons of material at the time of the 1:30 p.m. accident.
Boyd was driving the truck down a slight hill when he cut it toward a ditch designed to slow trucks that lose their brakes.
He jumped from the cab toward an embankment, but fell underneath the truck, Wells said.
