84-year-old Arkansas woman dies in crash after failing to yield at intersection, police say

An 84-year-old woman died and three other people were injured Friday in a two-vehicle crash in southeast Arkansas, state police said.

The wreck happened about 12:45 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. 65 and Arkansas 35 in the Chicot County city of Dermott, according to a preliminary report.

Authorities said Marie Moss of Lake Village was driving west in a 2015 Nissan on Arkansas 35 when she failed to yield at the intersection. A 2018 Toyota traveling south on U.S. 65 hit the Nissan on its driver's side, the reports states.

Moss was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital about 2 p.m. that day, troopers said. A 41-year-old passenger in the Nissan, Chaunea Mosley of Lake Village, was listed as injured.

The Toyota's driver, 68-year-old Randal Maxwell, and a passenger in that vehicle, 70-year-old Roselinda Maxwell, both of Ferriday, La., were also hurt, police said.

Conditions were described as clear and dry at the time of the collision.

At least 352 people have died in wrecks on Arkansas roads so far this year, according to preliminary figures.
