A Springdale, Arkansas man whose car had broken down and was on the shoulder of the road was run over by two cars 2:46 p.m. Friday on I-49 in Pineville and was pronounced dead at 4:17 p.m. at Freeman Neosho.
According to the Highway Patrol report, Tommy G. Ramsey, 53, Springdale, Arkansas, was having mechanical difficulties with his 2003 Chevrolet Silverado pickup and was parked on the right shoulder.
Ramsey was under the pickup, working on it, when a 1979 American General truck driven by Cory W. Frazier, 38, Madison, Arkansas, drifted off the right side of the roadway and struck the Ramsey vehicle in the rear end. Both trucks ran over Ramsey.
The fatality was the 102nd this year for Highway Patrol Troop D.
