According to a preliminary Arkansas State Police report, the trailer of a westbound 2003 International truck shifted into the eastbound lanes and struck the Sonata.
Jarrett and a passenger, 32-year-old Amy N. Jarrett, were taken to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis. Amy Jarrett died there. Timothy Jarrett's condition wasn't clear.
The truck driver was not injured.
Police say the accident occurred in rainy and windy conditions. The death was the 56th fatality in a crash on Arkansas roads so far this year, according to preliminary figures.
