An Arkansas City man died Sunday morning in a motor vehicle crash in Springfield, Missouri.

70-year-old Steven Constance was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which occurred just after 10 a.m. Springfield police believe the crash was the result of a medical emergency.

Police say a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, driven by Constance, was westbound on I-44 when it went off the roadway to the north of the interstate.

The vehicle traveled approximately 1,000 yards along the side of the highway and then crossed a water retention area south of a church at 3020 N. Barnes. The Jeep was then airborne across Barnes and went over the fence surrounding Bill & Payne Stewart Golf Course.

It came to rest on its roof after hitting a tree on the golf course.
