A Little Rock teen was killed after the pickup he was riding in was struck by another pickup while parked on the median of Interstate 30 Tuesday, police said.
Jorge Avalos, 18, was a passenger in a westbound 2005 Nissan Titan that was parked on the median of the highway near an exit onto 65th Street in Little Rock around 3:30 p.m., according to an Arkansas State Police report released over the weekend.
A 2011 Chevrolet Silverado also heading west drove onto the median and collided with the pickup, officials said. Avalos suffered fatal injuries.
