ASHDOWN — A teenage girl died in Ashdown on Thursday evening when a trailer carrying a pontoon boat came loose from a truck and slammed into her car, the Arkansas State Police said Friday.
John Wright, 58, of Wilton was southbound on U. S. 71 in a GMC truck about 7 p. m. when the trailer attached to his truck came unhitched and veered into northbound traffic, police said.
The trailer struck a northbound Nissan Maxima, and the pontoon boat crashed into the car’s windshield, killing its driver, Brittany J. Heathcock, 17, of Ashdown, police said.
Wright wasn’t injured, police said.
