Benton County deputies at fatal Plymouth rollover wreck

A Benton County official confirmed that the driver in a fatal Tuesday car wreck in Plymouth suffered a medical problem before he died.

David H. Satterfield, 68, of Plymouth, had the medical issue while driving a water truck for Diamond M Ranches on AgriNorthwest property, Benton sheriff’s officials said.

Satterfield lost control of the truck and flipped it.

The sheriff’s office said the medical condition killed Satterfield. A coroner’s official added that an autopsy was ordered to be sure.

The crash happened along South Plymouth Road, just north of town, sheriff’s Sgt. Mathew Clarke said.

Coworkers and friends in the area told sheriff’s investigators that Satterfield “always had a smile on his face and loved what he did.”
