Collisions in two South Arkansas counties left two people dead in recent days, according to preliminary fatal crash summaries posted by Arkansas State Police.
A Delight man died in a one-vehicle accident early Tuesday morning, Feb. 10, on Arkansas Highway 24 at the Nevada County city of Prescott. Colton Bailey, 20, was traveling west in a 2015 Chevrolet when he left the roadway. The vehicle collided with an embankment and overturned, ejecting Bailey. The report indicates that Bailey was first transported to UAMS Hospital before succumbing to his injuries.
State Trooper Diondre Fuller, who investigated the crash, noted clear weather and dry roads when the crash happened, at 3:40 a.m.
On Wednesday, Feb. 17, a crash involving a Mack semi-truck and a Ford pickup killed a passenger of the smaller truck. The eastbound 1992 Ford Ranger was on Arkansas Highway 376 when the driver failed to stop at the intersection with US Highway 79, entering the roadway into the path of a southbound 1997 Mack.
Kenneth Darrell Goff, 65, of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, died as a result of the collision. The driver, 64-year-old Teresa Eileen Chase, of Red Oak, Iowa, was taken to Baptist Hospital for treatment to injuries. The report does not name the driver of the Mack truck.
The crash happened at 8:14 a.m. in rural Ouachita County. Investigating State Trooper Sgt. Dustin Arnold noted dry roads and cloudy skies at the time of the crash.
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 Typical errors include spelling errors in names, or incorrect ages; outdated hometown information; vehicle direction of travel; and incident times.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.
