A Boone County man was killed Monday in a single-vehicle wreck, the Arkansas State Police said.

It wasn't clear what caused the accident. The weather was clear and the road was dry at the time of the accident, the report states.

Gabbard's death marked the 17th in wrecks on Arkansas roads in 2015, according to preliminary state police figures.
