YONCALLA, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon man whose body was found under a freeway overpass near Yoncalla did not appear to have been struck by a vehicle.

Oregon State Police troopers said 26-year-old Jesse Golden of Eugene may have fallen or jumped early Monday morning from the Cox Road overpass on Interstate 5.

The body was spotted by a commercial truck driver shortly after 3 a.m. Monday. The driver was unable to get cell phone service and flagged down another motorist to summon help.

An autopsy by the Douglas County medical examiner was planned.
