CORNING, AR : Authorities probing fatal crash on Wednesday, December 28th 2016
Two people were killed and another was injured in a head-on crash in northeast Arkansas, according to authorities.
Clay County Sheriff Terry Miller said the crash happened Wednesday morning on U.S. 67 near the Clay and Randolph county line.
According to a preliminary report from Arkansas State Police, 43-year-old Christopher Bryant of Carlisle and 66-year-old Brenda Christopher of Russellville were killed when a semi crossed the center line and crashed into their vehicle.
Another passenger in Bryant's vehicle was injured and taken to a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
Miller told Jonesboro television station KAIT that investigators think the semi's driver, who wasn't injured, may have fallen asleep or was distracted.
