A Cumberland Countian lost his life in a vehicle accident yesterday on I-40. Troopers say a 2018 Dodge Journey driven by 27-year-old Jeffrey Skudlark II of Arkansas was traveling at a high rate of speed and attempted to pass a 2007 Honda Fit operated by 39-year-old Cipriano Mendez of Crossville at the 302 mile marker. Skudlark struck the Honda resulting in fatal injuries to Mendez. Skudlark was charged with vehicular homicide, DUI, violation of the implied consent law, simple possession of drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, and failure to exercise due care.
