Arkansas woman dies 11 days after injured in 3-vehicle collision

An Arkansas woman has died more than a week after she was injured in a three-vehicle traffic crash in Montgomery County, authorities said.

Arkansas State Police said in a report Friday that Alice L. Carr, 74, of Mount Ida, died Dec. 23 after being involved in the wreck on Dec. 12.

According to the report, Carr was driving a 2009 Ford Fusion east on U.S. 270 east of Mount Ida when she tried to make a left turn and was hit by an eastbound Pontiac G6.

Carr's Ford was then struck head-on by an westbound pickup, the report said. The driver of the Pontiac was also said to be hurt in the collision, though the extent of her injuries wasn't noted.
