PIKE COUNTY, Arkansas — A Delight man died Friday, Dec. 12, 2025, in an accident at a local business.
The Pike County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call around 4:27 p.m. stating that a man had fallen out of a basket that was being lifted by a forklift at an Antioch Street business, according to a report filed by PCSO Criminal Investigator Jason McDonald.
First responders requested officers and, upon arrival, the victim, Randy Doy Woodall, 68, of Delight, was found to be deceased.
Woodall had reportedly been working inside a warehouse at Diamond City Trailers and was measuring for some piping when the incident occurred. Witnesses at the scene said Woodall walked to the side of the basket, causing it to tip over. He fell to the floor and struck his head, and the basket then fell on top of him, the report states.
Woodall was an electrician by trade, according to his obituary. Funeral services for Woodall were held Friday, Dec. 19, at Delight Cemetery.
