Daniel Eskandarian, 22, of Beebe was killed in a single-car crash at 2:48 p.m. on Interstate 40 in Conway, according to a report.

Eskandarian was driving east on I-40 in a 2016 Kia Soul, the report says. Near mile marker 134, the car went off the road to the left and slid sideways, beginning to overturn before hitting a tree, the report says.

A trooper investigating the wreck reported that it was raining at the time.

Bruno Sanchez IV, 46, of Pearcy was killed at 11:32 a.m. Saturday in a collision on Amity Road southwest of Hot Springs, according to a report.

Sanchez was driving a 2004 BMW 330I west at a high speed when he collided with a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu that was turning onto Amity Road from Rush Fork Road, the report says.

Sanchez’s vehicle struck a tree on the south side of the road after the impact, the report says. The report does not indicate that anyone else was injured in the wreck.

A trooper investigating the crash reported that the weather was clear and the road was dry at the time.
