An 18-year-old Arkansas woman died and another woman was hurt in a head-on collision Monday morning, according to a report from Arkansas State Police.

Authorities said Amber Kalberloh was driving east on Arkansas 72, west of Pea Ridge in Benton County, when her 2010 Chevrolet Aveo crossed the road's centerline about 9 a.m. and struck a 2015 Jeep Wrangler headed west, authorities said.

Kalberloh, a Pea Ridge resident, was killed in the wreck, according to the report.

The Jeep's driver — 49-year-old Ramona Morgan, also from Pea Ridge — was reportedly taken to Mercy Hospital in Rogers to receive treatment for her injuries.

Conditions at the time of the wreck were said to be cloudy and dry.

At least 431 people have been killed in crashes on Arkansas state roads this year, according to preliminary state police data.
