Semi flips, killing Enola man

An Enola man was killed when the tractor-trailer he was driving ran off a highway and overturned into a ditch Friday morning, according to a preliminary report from the Arkansas State Police.

Police said the single-vehicle crash happened at 6:12 a.m. on Arkansas 22 east of Sebastian County Line Road. A Freightliner driven by 55-year-old Kenneth Millsaps began traveling off the north side of the highway, prompting Millsaps to swerve back onto the road, according to the report.

The Freightliner then overturned onto its side and traveled across the roadway before stopping in a ditch on the road's south side, police noted.

Authorities said Millsaps was killed as a result of the crash. No other injuries were reported.
