That crash was cleared about 1 p.m.
The man driving the truck, who police have not identified, was uninjured and was cited for failure to remain stopped. The woman driving the Volvo was taken to Beebe with non-life-threatening injuries.
Information about the second crash will be posted when it becomes available.
Since 2012, there have been 37 reported collisions near or at that intersection, including the two crashes May 12, Fournier said.
