One vehicle landed on its top, while a second came to rest on its side following a collision Wednesday afternoon west of Mountain Home. The vehicle coming to rest on its side then caught fire. Both drivers were taken to Baxter Regional Medical Center (BRMC), according to a report from the Mountain Home Police Department.
The report indicates the accident happened when 76-year-old Martin Vaughn of Elizabeth pulled onto U.S. Highway 62/412 and into the path of a vehicle driven by 27-year-old Daniel Adams of Mountain Home traveling east.
The impact caused the vehicle driven by Vaughn to overturn and land on its top in the west-bound lane of traffic. Adams’ vehicle flipped on its side and came to rest facing west before catching fire. Responding officers were able to extinguish the blaze.
