White Hall City Council member Andrew M. "Andy" Lunsford was killed in an automobile crash on New Year's Eve.
The driver of a 2015 Mustang turned left onto Pratt Road from Ironton Road. While turning, the Mustang struck a second vehicle, forcing it to crash into Lunsford's Tacoma pickup, according to a preliminary report from the Arkansas State Police.
The Pulaski County sheriff's office and emergency personnel responded to the crash that occurred about 3:45 p.m.
Lunsford was pronounced dead at the scene, which was near exit 7 of Interstate 530.
It was raining and the road was wet, Pulaski County Deputy Andrew Garrison wrote in the accident report.
Lunsford, 49, served as Ward 1 City Council member for the past 13 years, during a time of great residential and commercial growth within the city, said White Hall Mayor Noel Foster. Lunsford served on the finance committee.
