Wet roads were a factor in a deadly crash in rural Hempstead County on Wednesday night.
According to a preliminary fatal crash summary posted by Arkansas State Police, 44-year-old Brandon Goode, of Hope, was driving a 2021 Ford F-150 pickup south on Hempstead County Road 3 when he lost control of the vehicle while attempting to make a left curve. The vehicle left the roadway and collided with a tree, killing Goode.
The crash happened at 9:29 p.m. on wet roads and while it was raining, according to Trooper Jacob Haynie, who investigated the collision.
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 Typical errors include spelling errors in names, or incorrect ages; outdated hometown information; vehicle direction of travel; and incident times.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.
