WINSLOW, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas State Police say a husband and wife were killed when their motorcycles were struck by a truck that crossed the center line.

Authorities say the wreck happened early Saturday evening near Winslow in Washington County. Killed were 32-year-old James Swearingen and 41-year-old Lori Swearingen of Gentry.

A police report says the pair was traveling north on U.S. Highway 71 when a Dodge truck crossed the center line and hit them. Three other motorcyclists who were traveling with them were also hurt.


Then Sunday a few miles north in Fayetteville a motorcyclist was killed when a woman ran a stop sign and struck him in the intersection. He was transported to the hospital where he died a short time later.
