A pedestrian and two motorists were killed in three separate crashes on Arkansas roads since Saturday, authorities said.
A 65-year-old pedestrian was killed Tuesday after being hit by a car on a state highway in south Arkansas, authorities said.
The Arkansas State Police said the incident happened around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday when a 2013 Chevrolet Impala struck a man along Arkansas 7 in Camden.
Police identified the pedestrian as Isaiah Reed of Camden. He suffered fatal injuries in the incident that happened between Goodgame Street and Lincoln Drive.
A police report didn't identify the Impala's driver.
Officials noted clear weather and dry roads at the time of the wreck.

Ricky Rocha, 62, was driving east on the Arkansas 10 spur at South Coker Street in Greenwood when his vehicle drifted and struck a barrier shortly after 7:45 p.m., Lt. Brad Hobbs of the Greenwood Police Department said.
Rocha's car, a 2009 Toyota Camry, then left the roadway and overturned in Heartill Creek, police said. He died at the scene, according to the report.
Police said it was raining at the time of the crash, and the water in the creek was high.
"It took quite a bit of time to retrieve the vehicle," Hobbs said.
