Safe in car seat

Two children - ages 1 and 3 - were not injured in a two-vehicle accident. They were in a pickup truck driven by their father, Brian Tripodi, 32, Bentonville, when it was struck by a smaller pickup truck on Sugar Creek Road as they rounded a curve just west of Ryan Road.

The accident was investigated by Benton County Sheriff’s deputy Robbins. Pea Ridge emergency personnel transported the driver of the black pickup truck, Shawn C. Howell, Mariano Road, Bentonville, to the hospital.
