A Southside man was killed after his motorcycle struck a truck in Independence County early Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Arkansas State Police Fatality Report, Kellum Kepfner, 41, was traveling north on his 2005 Honda behind a 2013 Freightliner on State Highway 87 (Floral Road) around 1:20 p.m. when the Freightliner apparently attempted to make a left turn into a private driveway. The report said as the truck was making the turn, Kepfner’s Honda traveled left of center and struck the Freightliner as it entered the driveway.
The driver of the Freightliner was not injured.
State police said the weather was clear, but the road condition was wet at the time of the accident.
