MISSISSIPPI COUNTY, Ark. — The Arkansas State Police (ASP) is investigating a six-vehicle collision that resulted in two fatalities and two injuries on State Highway 181, north of State Highway 140, between Manila and Osceola.
The crash occurred on Friday, October 3, 2025, at approximately 3:30 p.m. due to zero-visibility conditions caused by smoke from a field burning east of the highway.
Traffic on Highway 181 had slowed in the area because of the smoke when a 2018 GMC Terrain, driven by Mackenzie Marie Risner, 21, of Manila, struck the rear of a 2012 Kenworth semi-truck. The collision caused the GMC to roll into a roadside ditch. A second vehicle, driven by Jan Sebastian Rabie, 32, of Brookland, collided with the rear of the same semi-truck, contributing to a chain reaction involving multiple vehicles.
Rabie was pronounced dead at the scene, and Risner succumbed to her injuries after being transported to a local hospital. Two others were injured.
ASP Company F is assisting with the ongoing investigation.
