Magnolia man killed after car hits culvert, overturns

A 73-year-old Magnolia man died Tuesday night when his car ran off a highway and overturned.

Arkansas State Police say Fred Calvin Moore was driving a 1999 Ford Taurus south on U.S. 79 North in Magnolia shortly after 8 p.m. when the car went left of center, veered off the highway, hit a culvert and overturned.

Moore died from unspecified injuries.

It wasn't clear what caused the vehicle to leave the highway. Conditions were described as clear and dry.

The death was the 392nd fatality in a traffic accident in Arkansas so far this year, according to preliminary figures.
