VAN BUREN, Ark. (AP) - Officials say three people were killed in a multiple-vehicle wreck on Interstate 540 in western Arkansas.
Officials say the wreck happened Monday morning near the Arkansas River bridge near Van Buren after a log truck crossed the median and crashed into a truck carrying gravel. Two other vehicles were also involved in the crash.
Crawford County Coroner Pam Wells says three people died as a result of the wreck. The names of those killed have not yet been released.
The crash shut down parts of the interstate for several hours as crews cleared the wreckage.
