A West Virginia man was killed in a two-vehicle crash last week on Interstate 30 in Clark County, Arkansas.
According to a preliminary fatal crash summary posted by Arkansas State Police, 36-year-old David Austin McCourt, of Webster Springs, W. Va., was traveling westbound in a 2025 Chevrolet near the 73 mile-marker when he struck the rear of another vehicle, forcing it into the cable barriers.
The report does not list the make or model of the second vehicle, or the name of the other driver. The report indicates that one person was taken to Baptist Health Medical Center.
The crash happened at 7:29 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 22, 2026, near the Arkadelphia exit. Investigating State Trooper Joshua Middleton noted clear weather and dry roads at the time of the collision.
McCourt’s body was taken to the Pulaski County Coroner’s Office.
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 Typical errors include spelling errors in names, or incorrect ages; outdated hometown information; vehicle direction of travel; and incident times.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.
