One man was killed and another was injured Thursday in a head-on collision in a no-passing zone on a bridge over an Arkansas lake, authorities said.
The crash happened about 2:15 p.m. on the Arkansas 12 bridge over Beaver Lake in Benton County, Arkansas State Police said.
Rene Ayala, 29, of Rogers was riding a 2005 Suzuki motorcycle east when he moved into the westbound lanes to pass another vehicle, according to a preliminary crash report. His motorcycle hit an oncoming 2009 Nissan, state police said.
Ayala suffered fatal injuries. The Nissan's driver, identified as 47-year-old Rodney Robertson of Rogers, was listed as being hurt, but the report didn't detail the extent of his injuries.
