JONESBORO, AR (July 2, 2026) — A minor passenger was injured Tuesday morning in a three-vehicle collision at the intersection of East Highland Drive (Highway 18) and Easley Lane in Jonesboro, according to Arkansas State Police.
Investigators said the crash occurred at approximately 7:24 a.m. when a Ford F-150 driven by 20-year-old Wesley Palmer allegedly crossed the center left-turn lane and collided with a Freightliner semi-truck.
The impact pushed the semi-truck into the outside lane, where it struck an eastbound 2018 GMC Yukon. A minor passenger riding in the Yukon sustained unspecified injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances that led to the collision.
