Description
On September 14, 2026, an Arkansas State Police trooper attempted to stop a gold 1997 Mazda B2300 pickup near the U.S. 71 and Abbott Loop intersection in Scott County, Arkansas. According to the incident report, the vehicle continued onto Abbott Loop and then Rock Island Road without stopping.
The pursuit continued onto a dirt-road section, where the Mazda reportedly reached speeds of approximately 50 MPH and repeatedly lost traction while attempting to evade the trooper. Emergency lights and sirens were activated during the pursuit.
The incident eventually involved a Tactical Vehicle Intervention while the vehicles were traveling approximately 46 MPH. The Mazda overturned during the maneuver.
