A two-vehicle accident Wednesday left one person dead and another injured in Montgomery County.
Amy Lewis, 46, of Oden, was traveling east on US Highway 270 in a 2004 Honda CRV when a westbound 2018 Buick Regal reportedly crossed the centerline and struck Lewis’ vehicle.
The crash happened near the intersection of Woodland Springs Drive, about 14 miles west of Mount Ida.
The impact forced Lewis’ SUV to exit the south side of the highway and down an embankment into a creek, according to an Arkansas State Police preliminary fatal crash summary. Lewis was ejected upon impact and died at the scene.
The other vehicle, driven by 26-year-old Pearcy resident Jeanna Roark, exited the road to the north into a ditch. Roark was transported to UAMS Hospital in Little Rock with unlisted injuries.
Arkansas state trooper Cpl. Zechariah Whitney recorded the time of the accident as 8:27 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2024. The weather was clear and the road was dry.
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 Typical errors include spelling errors in names, or incorrect ages; outdated hometown information; vehicle direction of travel; and incident times.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.
