PEA RIDGE -- Three Pea Ridge residents were injured in a head-on collision that killed four people Sunday near Sheridan outside Little Rock.
Amanda Wolfenden of Pea Ridge was driving when another vehicle drove south in the northbound lane on U.S. 167 at about 3 p.m., according to an Arkansas State Police report.
Amanda and Ross Wolfenden and the couple's 18-month-old son, Drake, were injured in the accident.
Drake was released Sunday from Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, a hospital representative said.
Police did not have information on the injuries of his parents, who were taken to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences hospital in Little Rock and Jefferson Regional Medical Center in Pine Bluff. The police report did not indicate the extent of their injuries.
The other driver and three passengers in the car died in the crash. Leigh Ann Byars, 30, Joe Byars, 27, Micah Byars, 5, and Emma Byars, 2, were residents of El Dorado.
The Byars family was returning home from visiting relatives in west Tennessee, relatives said. Joe Byars worked as a minister in El Dorado.
