The driver of the vehicle, Kimberly Darter, 35, also of Pottsville, was taken to an area hospital for treatment.

An unidentified male was killed around 5:02 a.m. Saturday when he was struck by two vehicles while lying in the westbound ramp to Interstate 40 from Crystal Hill Road in North Little Rock, according to a report from the Arkansas State Police.

No other injuries were reported.

Authorities investigating both crashes reported that the weather was clear and the road was dry at the time.
