BENTON, Arkansas — Arkansas State Police are investigating a fatal collision involving a car and a pedestrian that happened along I-30 overnight on Friday.
According to police reports, the incident happened in Benton, as a vehicle was traveling west on the interstate when it struck a pedestrian as he entered into the roadway.
Police said that the victim was a 47-year-old man from Benton, who was struck by a 2022 Peterbuilt.
This incident comes just days after I-30 eastbound was temporarily shut down earlier this week due to the discovery of a body.
