Authorities have identified a 30-year-old motorcyclist from Little Rock who died in a crash in Saline County last week.
Jimmy Ray Daniels was riding a motorcycle south up a hill on Arkansas 9 in Paron County on Thursday afternoon, according to a preliminary report revised Wednesday by Arkansas State Police. As he crested the hill, he collided with a northbound 2016 Dodge Ram that crossed into his lane, the report states.
Daniels was killed when the two vehicles collided, officials from the Saline County coroner’s office said.
Authorities said the driver of the truck, 69-year-old Marilyn R. Hall of Perryville, was injured in the crash.
Conditions were clear and dry at the time of the wreck, according to troopers.
Preliminary numbers indicate at least 247 people have died in crashes on Arkansas roads so far this year.
CORRECTION: Marilyn R. Hall crossed the centerline on Arkansas 9. An earlier version of this story misstated which person crossed the centerline due to incorrect information in an Arkansas State Police report. The report has been revised.
