1 dead, 1 injured in head-on collision

The crash report said the road was wet when the accident happened. Two Baxter County men were involved in a deadly head-on collision Sunday afternoon. According to a preliminary crash report by Arkansas State Police, Terry L. Teeter Jr., of Gassville, was heading north on State Highway 5 at around 12:05 p.m. Jordan died and Teeter was injured in the crash. That’s when, according to police, Teeter crossed the center line and crashed into an oncoming car.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
