Mitchell Flow, 25, was riding a 2006 Honda MC east around 12:20 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of Maple and East Columbia streets, about a mile south of the Southern Arkansas University campus, at the time of the incident, according to a preliminary crash report from state police.
A mail truck was facing north at the intersection of Maple and East Columbia Street. It failed to yield from the intersection while making a left turn onto East Columbia Street, troopers said.
Flow struck the truck as a result, according to the report.
He was transported to UAMS Medical Center, where he died Thursday evening, according to troopers.
Troopers described the conditions at the time of the crash as clear and dry.
At least 441 people have died as a result of crashes on Arkansas roads so far this year, according to preliminary figures.
