Highway Patrol: Driver identified in fatal dump truck crash on U.S. 64 in Rosman

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol has released the identity of the dump truck driver who was killed in a single-vehicle crash on April 22 in Rosman.

Sgt. Jim Contas told the Times-News on April 24 that the woman has been identified as Carolyn McCall Lund, 63, of Transylvania County. He said the call about the accident came in at 12:37 p.m. April 22, and that the accident happened on U.S. 64 West in Rosman near Silversteen Road.

"It was a dump truck of some sort. She ran off the road to the right and struck a tree," Contas said.

Contas said troopers don't believe speed was a factor, and he said troopers weren't sure yet whether or not Lund was wearing a seat belt.

"Obviously, the cause of death is still under investigation. The medical examiner is still trying to figure out if this was medically-related or if she did die from injuries sustained in the crash," he said.

Moody Connolly, 181 S. Caldwell St., Brevard, is handling the funeral arrangements. According to its website, a celebration of life service will be held for Lund at 1 p.m. May 4 at the funeral home.
