Martha A. Simmons, 37, of Pea Ridge died in an accident reported at 3:25 p.m., according to a preliminary Arkansas State Police report.

Simmons, who was driving a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe, attempted to pass another vehicle on a sharp corner when she lost control of her vehicle, causing it to roll several times, according to Pea Ridge police.
