Driver killed in Carroll County collision

A Green Forest woman was killed Sunday when the vehicle she was driving crossed the centerline and collided with another vehicle, police said.

It happened shortly before 5 p.m. on Arkansas 103 south of Green Forest in Carroll County.

Arkansas State Police say 43-year-old Kreider Careen was driving a 2003 Chevy south on the highway when the vehicle left the right side of the roadway in a curve.

According to a report, the Chevy then returned to the highway, crossed into northbound traffic and collided with a northbound 1996 Toyota.

Careen suffered fatal injuries. The other driver, whose name wasn't included in the report, was not listed as injured.

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

The death was the 331st in a traffic crash in Arkansas so far this year, according to preliminary figures.
