Bentonville man seriously injured in wreck near Garfield

A Bentonville man was seriously injured Monday night in a one-vehicle wreck near Garfield, according to Arkansas State Police.

Trooper Mike Morgan identified the man as Mitchell Moore, 41, who was driving a Chevrolet pickup north on Arkansas 127 when the pickup missed a curve and hit trees down an embankment.

Morgan said it was raining at the time of the accident. That and poor visibility may have played a role in the accident. Investigation is continuing, he said.

Moore was first taken to Northwest Medical Center-Bentonville then transferred to Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Mo., by land ambulance because weather conditions prevented an air ambulance from flying, Morgan said.
