Two teenagers were killed in a single-vehicle accident early Sunday morning, April 6, 2025, in western Ouachita County.
According to an Arkansas State Police preliminary fatal crash summary, 19-year-old Kade Hurst, of Chidester, was driving a 2001 Honda southbound on Arkansas Highway 57 when he drove off the highway and struck two trees. Hurst’s passenger, Trenton “Bill” William Martin, 17, also died from injuries in the wreck.
The accident happened at 2:50 a.m. on wet roads and under clear skies, according to Deputy Daniel Davis of the Ouachita County Sheriff’s Department.
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 Typical errors include spelling errors in names, or incorrect ages; outdated hometown information; vehicle direction of travel; and incident times.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.
