The coroner says a friend was backing a pickup truck as Ouzts was behind the truck giving directions.
Salisbury says the truck backed over him and backed into a tree.
“He was pinned under the truck and was extricated by Berkeley County Rescue Squad and the local fire departments,” stated Salisbury.
Ouzts was pronounced dead on the scene. His death has been ruled accidental.
