Willie Roy Howard, 65, was dead on arrival at Collin Memorial Hospital Thursday evening from injuries received when the dump truck which he was driving overturned.
The 1963 model Chevrolet truck was loaded with asphalt road material and was traveling north on U. S. Highway 75, 1.9 miles South of McKinney when the vehicle went out of control and overturned.
