Roland Police Chief Tommy Sessums said that William "Bill" McGuire, 32, was driving a 1977 jeep when the accident occurred at about 6:20 p.m. April 29.
McGuire had just left his home and was traveling down Lenington Lane, which is a gravel road off east Dorcus, when he went off the road slightly and overcorrected, causing his jeep to flip and roll into some trees. Sessums noted that McGuire was not traveling at a high rate of speed when the accident occurred.
McGuire was transported by ambulance to Sparks Regional Medical Center in Fort Smith, where he died the next day, Sessums said.
A passenger in McGuire's vehicle, Harvey Johnson of Muldrow, was thrown from the jeep, but received only minor injuries. He refused transport to the hospital, Sessums said.
