William Blackstock, 42, killed, after his car leaves the roadway on Highway 43 near Canton, overturns and crashes into a tree.

A one-car crash kills one person on Highway 43 in Madison County.

The Mississippi Highway Patrol tells us William Blackstock, 42, of Pickens died in the Wednesday afternoon crash.

That crash happened about two miles north of Highway 17, when the car, a gray Toyota Camry, entered a sharp curve.

MHP says the driver ran off the road then over-corrected. That’s what caused the car to go off-road again, flip, and hit a tree.

The driver was killed on the scene. Officials say he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.

The accident is still under investigation, but officials say speed may have played a factor in the crash.
