Driver died in truck at rest stop

ADAMS COUNTY — An autopsy was ordered to determine the cause of death of a Grandview man, after he was found dead in his tractor trailer at a rest area Thursday morning.

Foul play is not suspected in the death of 49-year-old Johnny Glenn Prine, who was found by members of the Washington State Patrol and Adams County Sheriff's Office at a county rest area on Interstate 90.

The sheriff's office said in a news release Prine had health issues and had recently told family members he had not been feeling well. The release stated Floyd Linsky Trucking sent a fellow truck driver to check on Prine, who in turn called police when there was no response from the vehicle.
