KIBLER, Ark. The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) is working to bring more awareness to a dangerous curve in Kibler that has led to multiple fatalities.
There are now two new signs posted at the intersection near N. Cedar Avenue off of Highway 162. The largest sign sits in front of the curve where the most accidents have happened.
This comes a month after one vehicle drove off the curve and crashed into a line of boulders posted outside a home near the intersection. One woman was killed, and the other was critically injured in the accident.

In Sebastian County, two taxes gained arguably just as much attention as the decision over who will be in the White House come Jan. 20.
Sebastian County voters struck down the 0.25% sales tax that sent roughly $6 million to support the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith.
However, the county did opt in favor of Issue 1, which indefinitely puts a 0.5% sales tax toward fixing, and in some cases improving or expanding, roads throughout the state.
These issues were voted upon under the backdrop of the presidential election between President Donald Trump and President-Elect Joe Biden that proved to be one of the most contentious presidential elections in recent memory.
