Editor’s Note: Information for this article was drawn from a preliminary Arkansas State Police report. These reports sometimes contain information that turns out to be inaccurate. Typical errors include spelling mistakes in names, or incorrect ages; outdated hometown information; vehicle direction of travel; and incident times.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.
