Police ID victim in Thursday crash

Arkansas State Police have identified the adult victim of a crash Thursday evening on Interstate 30 that also killed two kids and injured three other people.

The collision occurred around 5:15 p.m. east of the Reynolds Road exit in Bryant after a Nissan Altima stopped on the shoulder of eastbound I-30 pulled into a lane, according to a state police preliminary crash summary.

As the Altima traveled at a slow speed on the interstate, a commercial truck came from behind and struck the car, the report said.

A passenger in the Altima, 39-year-old Katrina Dunnick, of Little Rock, and a boy and a girl died. The Saline County coroner couldn’t immediately be reached to confirm their ages.

Two other kids from the Altima were injured: a girl who was driving and a boy who was a passenger, according to the summary.

The driver of the truck, from Michigan, was injured as well.

State police said all three of the injured people were taken to area hospitals in critical condition Thursday evening, and spokesman Bill Sadler said no update on their conditions would be given unless any die from the injuries.

It was raining at the time of the crash.

Earlier Thursday, a 24-yearold Alexander woman was killed in a crash near the same section of Interstate 30 injuring one other person.

Jenna Nicole Kelton died in the 6:19 a.m. crash near the 124 mile marker in Bryant.

She was traveling west on the interstate when her 2015 Nissan Altima struck the front passenger side of a 2008 Ford Mustang traveling west on the adjacent service road and veered onto the interstate.

Alfred Cuanas Pascual, 20, of Benton was driving the Mustang and was treated at Baptist Health Medical Center in Little Rock.

Conditions were said to be clear and dry at the time of the crash.
