An Arkansan was killed and two others, including a 1-year-old, were injured in a collision in Carroll County Monday afternoon, authorities said.
Bobby Johnson, 32, of Green Forest was driving a 1991 Chevrolet west on U.S. 412 in Carroll County around 3:45 p.m., according to an Arkansas State Police report.
A 2011 Buick traveling east crossed the centerline and struck Johnson's vehicle, the report said. The Chevrolet came to a stop partially in a ditch, and the Buick was sent into the eastbound lane, police said.
Johnson suffered fatal injuries. The Buick's driver, 53-year-old Melinda Jones of Van Buren, and a 1-year-old baby girl riding in the vehicle were both injured in the wreck. At least one of them was taken to Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Mo.
