Wednesday, December 5, 2018, at approximately 9:30 a.m., a motorist caused a crash that resulted in one Arkansas Highway Police Officer to be flown to a hospital in Little Rock for treatment.
The accident occurred in the westbound Interstate 30 lane, close to mile marker 81. For approximately one hour both eastbound and westbound lanes were blocked so the helicopter could land safely. By 11:45 a.m., both lanes had been cleared.

The driver then left the roadway, crashing into the parked highway patrol min-van. The driver was observed by the witness standing and walking normally after the collision.
