An 88-year-old woman died of injuries related to a head-on collision on a highway in north Arkansas, state police said in a report released late Wednesday.
The crash happened around 10:30 a.m. Oct. 18 as a 2006 Toyota was traveling south on Arkansas 201 in Baxter County.
Police say an eastbound 2008 Toyota driven by Doris J. Sherry of Mountain Home pulled into the direct path of that vehicle at Old Military Road, causing the 2006 Toyota to strike Sherry’s vehicle on its left side.
Sherry suffered fatal injuries in the crash.
State police spokesman Liz Chapman said it was not known when the woman was pronounced dead, describing it as a "delayed fatality" report.
Conditions at the time of the crash were described as clear and dry.
Sherry’s death was one of at least 410 recorded this year on Arkansas roads, according to preliminary figures.
