Keri Palmer and Olivia Palmer Injured in Mississippi County, Arkansas Pile-Up Caused by Smoke – October 3, 2025

On October 3, 2025, a multi-vehicle collision occurred on State Highway 181 in Mississippi County, Arkansas, resulting in two fatalities and multiple injuries. According to Arkansas State Police, the crash was triggered by "zero-visibility conditions" caused by smoke from a nearby field fire. The incident took place around 3:30 p.m. near County Road 650 and Highway 140.

Among those injured in the chain-reaction crash were Keri Palmer and Olivia Palmer of Keiser, Arkansas. Their vehicle was rear-ended by another car, which forced them into a ditch as part of a six-vehicle pile-up. The smoke, blown across the highway by wind, significantly impaired visibility and contributed directly to the series of collisions. An investigation into the crash and the circumstances surrounding the field burn is ongoing.
