A driver from Missouri died Thursday at a Memphis hospital a week after his SUV ran off an Arkansas highway and hit a tree.
The wreck happened Nov. 24 as Eddie D. Kent, 57, of Cape Girardeau, Mo., was driving a 1994 Isuzu Rodeo south on Arkansas 25 in Lynn in Lawrence County, Arkansas State Police said.
The Rodeo drifted off the highway around 1:40 p.m. and hit a tree, according to a preliminary report.

The death was at least the 501st reported on Arkansas roads so far this year, according to preliminary figures.
