A 2016 International tractor-trailer was heading north on the state highway when it went through a stop sign and hit the driver's side of a 2003 Ford F-150 traveling west on U.S. 371, the report states.

Police said the pickup driver, 33-year-old William Edwards of Texarkana, and a female minor, whose name and age were not released, suffered fatal injuries.
