Roland Police Major Cindy Smith said the department received a call of a wreck near Interstate 40 shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Smith said the officer saw that a vehicle had run off the road on Dorcus Street near the Interstate 40 overpass. The driver was thrown from the vehicle as a result of the accident.
He was transported to Sequoyah Memorial Hospital in Sallisaw where he was pronounced dead.
Smith said the department is not releasing the name of the man because all of the man's family has not been notified.
Smith said the investigating officer did not indicate that the man was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
