A 51-year-old man died after the vehicle he was riding in was rear-ended in Little Rock on Friday, police said.

Charles Shelton was a passenger in a 2012 Nissan headed north on Mississippi Street when the Nissan was rear-ended near Ohio Street by a 2003 Chevrolet, according to a preliminary crash report by Little Rock police. 

The two vehicles came to a stop in a yard, with the Chevrolet flipped onto its side, the report states.
