Polk County, AR (October 14, 2024) – A tragic accident occurred on October 12, 2024, at approximately 12:35 a.m. on State Highway 8 near Oklahoma, resulting in the death of one individual. Emergency responders were alerted to the scene following the incident, which involved a GMC Sierra traveling eastbound.

Unfortunately, the vehicle rolled down an embankment, leading to the driver being ejected from the vehicle. The GMC ultimately came to rest on its driver’s side, tragically resulting in the driver’s death at the scene.
