A Jonesboro man lost his life in an early morning wreck on Thursday in Mississippi County.
Kenneth Carter, 64, died in a two vehicle wreck, which occurred on State Highway 140 east of State Highway 77 South.
Carter was traveling eastbound on State Highway 140 just east of State Highway 77 in a 1999 Freightliner. Justian Gray, 33, of Marked Tree, was traveling east in a 1996 Freightliner in front of Carter’s vehicle.
Gray slowed his vehicle down in an attempt to make a left turn into a private drive.
Carter crossed the center line and began to travel eastbound in the westbound lane. Carter struck Gray’s vehicle in the driver’s side causing Carter to overturn coming to a final rest in the westbound ditch.
