Selina Tidwell, 33, of Hot Springs, was driving west on Glazypeau Road when she came to a curve in the road and lost control, state police said. The Nissan Pathfinder overturned, and Tidwell was ejected.
Tidwell and a passenger, 30-year-old Thomas Locke of Hot Springs, were taken to CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs, where Tidwell died. Locke's condition was unavailable Friday.
