Two Southeast Arkansas men were killed in separate traffic accidents in a less than 24-hour period from Thursday to Friday.
The first of those accidents occurred in rural Ouachita County at 10 a.m. Thursday. when Eddie Paul Foise III of Camden apparently lost control of the 2018 Harley Davidson he was riding east on U.S. Highway 278. While negotiating a left-hand curve, the bike left the roadway on the right side, struck a road sign and a small tree before coming to rest in a roadside ditch.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
At 7:02 a.m., Friday, James Dale Curry, 45, of Magnolia died when the 2015 Dodge Durango he was driving north on Shankhouse Road crossed the southbound lane of traffic, went off the roadway and struck a tree.
He was pronounced dead at the scene by Columbia County Coroner Randy Reed at 7:45 a.m.
The two deaths bring to 510 the number of people killed in traffic accidents so far this year.
