A Friday afternoon wreck proved fatal for a Muldrow man who was on his bicycle when he was struck by a truck.

Charles Anderson, 54, of Muldrow was pronounced dead on arrival at Sparks Regional Medical Center in Fort Smith, Ark., from head and internal trunk injuries, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP).

Anderson was southbound on his bicycle at about 3:30 p.m. about two miles north of Roland on a county road when the accident occurred. Raymond Redden, 79, of Roland was driving a 1985 Dodge truck south when he failed to yield the right-of-way to Anderson and struck him from behind, the OHP reported. Anderson was thrown about 59 feet.

Redden, who was wearing his seatbelt, was not injured in the accident.

The OHP reported the cause of the accident was unsafe speed for the driver's ability.
