An SUV carrying five people on Interstate 30 struck a tree Monday morning, leaving one juvenile dead and four others injured.

According to an Arkansas State Police preliminary fatal crash summary, a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder was eastbound in Nevada County when it veered into the median and struck a tree.

The report does not indicate who was driving the vehicle but lists one adult, 34-year-old Marco Aldana, of Seagoville, Texas, as an occupant of the vehicle. Magnoliareporter.com reports that Aldana was the driver. The news website also reports that two boys and one girl were injured in the crash.

The injured were taken with unlisted injuries to Arkansas Children’s Hospital and Baptist Medical Center.

The accident happened at the 50.5 mile marker near the Prescott exit. Time of the accident was 9:10 a.m. Monday, July 8, 2024.

Investigating state trooper Cpl. Kyle Peek noted wet road conditions and cloudy skies at the time of the accident.

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 Typical errors include spelling errors in names, or incorrect ages; outdated hometown information; vehicle direction of travel; and incident times.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.
