A 25-year-old Arkansas man died early Sunday when his car went off the road as he tried to merge onto Interstate 40, state police said.
David Cullum of Austin was driving a 2013 Dodge Avenger south on Arkansas 440 at 4:43 a.m., the Arkansas State Police said in a preliminary crash report. He took an exit to head west on I-40. As the road curved, the Dodge left the pavement, traveled down an embankment and hit a tree. The car came to a rest on its left side.
Police listed conditions as clear and dry when the wreck occurred. Cullum's death was the 483rd of 2016 on Arkansas roads, according to preliminary figures.
