Earlier in the week, a 59-year-old California man was killed when his truck crashed into a median of Interstate 40, authorities said.
State police reported the single-vehicle crash happened shortly after 6:30 p.m. Sunday when an eastbound 2016 Freightliner crashed off the left side of the highway and struck a tree. The crash occurred around mile marker 199 in Prairie County, which is east of the Hazen exit and near the White River, according to a crash report.
The driver, Balkar Singh of Fresno, Calif., suffered fatal injuries, the report said. No one else was listed as being hurt.
The reports didn't indicate what may have caused either vehicle to leave the road. The weather was clear and roads were dry at the time of both crashes, state police reported.
