Minor driver dies after vehicle crosses Arkansas highway's centerline, hits tractor-trailer

A minor driver was killed after she crossed into oncoming traffic on an Arkansas highway and hit a tractor-trailer, according to state police.

The crash happened around 2:05 p.m. Sunday on U.S. 62 east of Corning, authorities said in a preliminary report.

A female minor, whose identity was not released, was traveling west on the highway in a 2011 GMC Sierra when she crossed the centerline into the path of an eastbound tractor-trailer, according to authorities.

She was killed in the crash. Police said another person was injured, though that individual was not named in the report.

Travel conditions at the time were described as cloudy and wet.

The minor’s death was one of at least 10 recorded so far this year on an Arkansas road, according to preliminary figures.
