DIXON, Mo. (May 4, 2009) — An Arkansas man totaled his car and suffered moderate injuries Sunday morning after running off the side of Highway O, according to Missouri State Highway Patrol reports.
Troopers reported that John G. Davis, 76, of Jonesboro, Ark., was eastbound on Highway O about four miles away from Dixon at 11 a.m. Sunday when he ran his 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo off the right side of the roadway, struck a highway sign and returned to the roadway.
