KIBLER, Ark. One woman is dead, and another was critically injured in a crash on a portion of highway in Crawford County that has a history of bad accidents.
Now the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT) is looking at what it could do to make that highway safer.
On Wednesday (Dec. 9) just before 2:30 a.m. a car ran off the road at a curve on Highway 162 north Cedar Avenue in Kibler and hit a large boulder in the homeowners’ front yard. 20-year-old Odalis Irvin was killed, and driver Grace Murphy was flown to a local hospital.
