A 79-year-old man was killed in a crash in Searcy County on Monday morning after his pickup overturned and struck a tree, troopers said.

Dale England of Pelsor was driving his 2008 Chevrolet truck south on U.S. 65 around 11 a.m. when the vehicle crossed the centerline and he overcorrected, according to a preliminary crash report from Arkansas State Police.

The pickup left the road, overturned and struck a tree, the report states.

Troopers described conditions at the time of the crash as clear and dry.

At least 67 people have been killed as a result of crashes on Arkansas roads so far this year, according to a summary report from the Arkansas Department of Public Safety.
