MORRILTON, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas State Police say two people are dead after their vehicles were struck by a trailer that detached from a truck.
State police say the accident happened Monday on Arkansas 95 in Conway County two miles north of Interstate 40. A preliminary report says a trailer somehow disconnected from a truck driving north and moved into the southbound lanes.
The trailer struck two vehicles driven by 43-year-old Kevin Whitbey of Morrilton and 24-year-old Rogelio Morales of Springfield. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities say the truck's driver was not injured.
