A 54-year-old man was killed in a head-on crash Saturday afternoon on a wet road in Faulkner County, state police said.
The wreck happened shortly before 3 p.m. as Joe Lawrence of Cabot was driving south on Arkansas 107 at Fortson Road in Vilonia, according to a preliminary report.
Lawrence’s 1995 Chevrolet Silverado crossed into northbound traffic, causing it to hit the front of a northbound 2016 Jeep Wrangler, police said.
Lawrence was pronounced dead at the scene. No one else was reported hurt.
The road was wet and the weather was cloudy at the time, police said.
Lawrence’s death was one of at least 98 recorded so far this year on an Arkansas road, according to preliminary figures.
