A 37-year-old Alcoa man died as the result of injuries he sustained after falling off the top of a moving van Sunday evening.

David Harold Chandler, Jr., 37, Cedar Street, was pronounced dead at the University of Tennessee Medical Center this morning.

According to a Blount County Sheriff’s Office report, Chandler was standing on top of a moving 2002 Toyota Sienna van traveling southeast on Cloyds Church Road at around 9:30 p.m. Sunday when he fell off the vehicle as it rounded a curve. Chandler then slid about 29 feet in the road.

He was taken by personal vehicle to Blount Memorial Hospital, and was then transferred to the University of Tennessee Medical Center by LifeStar.

The vehicle’s driver, Patrick Richard Borden, 20, Marble Hill Road, Friendsville, was charged with reckless endangerment. He is being held in the Blount County Detention Facility on $1,500 bond, and is also being held without bond on two charges of violation of probation.

The Sheriff’s Office Traffic Safety Unit is investigating the accident.
