The accident happened Tuesday morning on U.S. Highway 79 south of Camden.
According to an Arkansas State Police preliminary fatal crash summary, 48-year-old Tourke Hooker, of Camden, was traveling south in a 2018 Tesla T3 when he negotiated a curve and lost control of the vehicle, rotating counter-clockwise and crossing the centerline into the northbound lane. The rear of the vehicle collided with a northbound 2017 Nissan Maxima driven by Ashley French, 28, of Magnolia.
French, as well as a juvenile passenger in the Tesla, were killed in the wreck. Their bodies were transported to the Ouachita County Morgue.
The accident says Hooker was taken to Southern Arkansas Regional Hospital in El Dorado.
Rainy conditions and wet roads were noted in the report, filed by ASP Cpl. Sequoyah Browning.
Time of the accident was 7:34 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 30, 2023.
Editor’s Note: Preliminary Arkansas State Police fatality reports sometimes contain information that turns out to be inaccurate. Typical errors include spelling errors in names, or incorrect ages; outdated hometown information; vehicle direction of travel; and incident times. The ASP sometimes corrects these errors in updated reports. ASP reports omit names of passengers or drivers who are not injured, even in instances when uninjured drivers may appear to be at fault. The reports also omit names of juveniles who were injured or killed, although we report those names when obtained through other sources.
