MISSISSIPPI COUNTY, AR – The Arkansas State Police 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 around 3:30 p.m. on October 3, 2025, when smoke from a field burning east of the highway created zero-visibility conditions. Traffic on Highway 181 had slowed because of the smoke when a 2018 GMC Terrain, driven by 21-year-old Mackenzie Marie Risner 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 32-year-old Jan Sebastian Rabie of Brookland then collided with the same semi-truck, triggering a chain reaction involving several vehicles. Rabie was pronounced deceased at the scene, and Risner died after being transported to a local hospital. Two other individuals were injured.
The Arkansas State Police Company F continues to investigate the crash.
