According to a preliminary fatal crash summary posted by Arkansas State Police, 89-year-old Fred Looper, of Bismarck, was traveling northbound in a 2008 Chevy Silverado at the 6100 block of Highway 7 in Hot Springs when he drove off the road. The pickup truck subsequently overturned, ejecting Looper from the vehicle. He was killed in the accident.

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 Typical errors include spelling errors in names, or incorrect ages; outdated hometown information; vehicle direction of travel; and incident times.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.
