BRYANT, ARKANSAS




One person was killed Wednesday morning in a collision between an 18-wheeler and a pickup in Bryant.




The Bryant Police Department said 18-wheeler was southbound on Springhill Road just north of Hilltop Road shortly after 6:30 a.m. when it collided with the northbound pickup "partially head-on."




The pickup driver died at the scene. The truck driver was taken to a local hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening.




The names of the drivers haven't been released.




It wasn't clear what caused the wreck or which vehicle crossed the center line. The pickup and the truck each ended up off the side of the road with heavy front-end damage.




Springhill Road was blocked in both directions for several hours while crews investigated the scene.
