An Arkansas man was killed Wednesday morning in Baxter County after two other vehicles collided on a highway, and he veered off the road, state police said.
Gerald Lenard, 87, of Lakeview was driving a 2004 Buick south on Highway 5 in front of a 2014 Ford also traveling south outside of Monkey Run around 7:45 a.m., according to an Arkansas State Police report.
The Ford attempted to pass the Buick and struck a 2007 Dodge in the northbound lane, state police said. The Buick veered off the roadway and struck a concrete culvert, the report.
