FORT SMITH (KFSM) — One person is dead and a mother and her two children were injured following a collision that happened along Rogers Avenue Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 24).
The collision happened about 2:50 p.m. near the intersection of Rogers and Albert Pike Avenues and slowed traffic for several hours because police ended up having to close one of the lanes.
