Witnesses to the crash told police that a Ford Crown Victoria and Ford Mustang appeared to be racing and were traveling at "extremely high rates of speed" at the time of the wreck.
Two people were in each car, the release states, and all were taken to nearby hospitals with significant injuries. Aniyah later died at a hospital, and the other three were still being treated Wednesday evening. Their names were not released.
The investigation is ongoing, police said. At least 188 people have died in crashes on Arkansas roads this year, according to preliminary data.
