HARRISON, Ark. (KTHV) - Officials with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission are investigating a fatal boating accident on the Ouachita River.

Officials say two boats collided about five or six miles from the Highway 82 bridge at the Felsenthel Wildlife Refuge on Sunday evening. Two were injured in the accident, while another died.

It is unclear if alcohol was involved in the accident, but AGFC says they're investigating the cause. They say they'll test the people and the boats.

Authorities are not releasing any identities at this time.
