Interstate Accidents and Traffic Safety in Arkansas
Highway collisions are a frequent occurrence in Arkansas, particularly on major roadways like I-630, where traffic congestion and high speeds increase the risk of crashes. Accidents near exit ramps, such as the one near Exit 6B, often happen due to merging issues, sudden lane changes, or driver inattention.
According to traffic reports, Arkansas records thousands of highway crashes annually, many resulting in injuries that require medical attention. Common causes include speeding, distracted driving, and failure to maintain a safe following distance. During peak travel times, heavy congestion can further contribute to the risk of multi-vehicle collisions.

If another driver’s negligence played a role in the crash, those affected may have options for seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
