A woman was killed and two people were hospitalized in a crash involving an SUV an a minivan on Markham Street in Little Rock in front of the Arkansas School for the Deaf, police say.
A Hyundai Santa Fe and a Chrysler Pacifica were both heading west Wednesday morning in the 2300 block of West Markham Street, police spokesman officer Steve Moore said from the scene of the wreck.

The Pacifica was going "rather fast" and rear-ended the Santa Fe, Moore said. Both vehicles then careened off the road, and the Pacifica traveled across a stretch of grass and crashed into a tree on the grounds of the Arkansas School for the Deaf.
The Pacifica's driver, a woman, was killed, Moore said. A male passenger suffered "serious injuries" and was taken to a hospital, he said.
The Santa Fe's driver was also hospitalized, authorities said.
The woman's next of kin has yet to be notified, so police are not releasing her name at this time.
Dispatch records show officers were called to the wreck shortly before 10:40 a.m. The Little Rock Police Department said westbound lanes in the area were shut until about 1 p.m.
