A Norfolk man is dead after a Tuesday morning accident about 15 miles east of Petersburg.

 According to Sgt. James Vrbsky with the Madison County Sheriff’s Department, first responders were called to a single vehicle roll-over on Highway 32 near mile marker 16 at about 7:20 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Police said Ben Sunderman, 29 of Norfolk, formerly of Madison, was east bound in a truck when it left the roadway and entered the south ditch. The early investigation suggests that the truck then over-corrected and pulled back on the highway and skid out-of-control.

Sunderman was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. Madison County Attorney Joe Smith has ordered an autopsy.

​The accident was investigated by the Madison County Sheriff’s Office and was assisted by Newman Grove Fire and Rescue.
