A 40-year-old Quitman man attempted suicide Tuesday evening by driving over Hiram Bluff at Wilburn.
The man, reportedly distraught after a fight with his girlfriend, drove his S-10 Blazer off the bluff on Hwy 110 East between Wilburn and Pangburn.
Rescuers from Wilburn EMS/ Fire, Heber Springs Fire, Cleburne County Search and Rescue, Pine Snag Fire, and NorthStar EMS were called to the scene around 8:35 p.m. after someone reported hearing the man yelling from the vehicle.
He was loaded into an ambulance and hauled to a nearby helicopter around 12 a.m Wednesday.
Additional details about the incident will be available in the Friday edition of the Sun-Times.
