A 10-year-old girl died in a head-on crash on a state highway in northeast Arkansas on Thursday morning, authorities said.
The child, whose identity was not released, was a passenger in a Lincoln MKZ that was traveling north on Arkansas 1, according to an Arkansas State Police report.
A Ford F-150 traveling south on the highway crossed the centerline and struck the Lincoln head-on, the report said. Both drivers were listed as being hurt, though the report didn't detail the extent of their injuries.
The report also didn't indicate what may have caused the pickup to veer out of its lane. Conditions at the time were said to be clear and dry.
