A 73-year-old Texas man died after his car veered off Interstate 30 and struck a tree Wednesday in Saline County, according to state police.
Douglas Alberts, of Keller, Texas, was driving a Volvo 240 west on I-30 around 12:10 p.m. when the car veered off to the south about 4 miles west of U.S. 70, according to a state police preliminary crash summary. The Volvo then struck a tree before coming to a rest.
Weather was clear, and roads were dry at the time of the crash, according to the report.
At least 470 people have died in wrecks on Arkansas roads this year, according to preliminary numbers.
