Accident claims Austin man

At approximately 3:35 p.m. on Friday, September 12, Marshall and Leslie First Responders were called to the scene of a 3 vehicle accident that claimed the life of 23 year old Steven Patrick Shepard of Austin, Arkansas. According to a report issued by the Arkansas State Police, Shepard, who was driving a 2003 Honda Accord was southbound on Hwy. 65 approximately 2.4 miles south of Marshall when a northbound 2000 Ford truck driven by 45 year old Richard Treadwell of Marshall crossed over the center line, striking the southbound Shepard, who was then struck by a northbound 2007 GMC truck driven by 20 year old Austin Clagett of Harrison, AR. Clagett and Treadwell were uninjured. Shepard’s body was taken to Roller-Coffman Funeral Home in Marshall. Road conditions were dry at the time of the accident. The accident was investigated by Arkansas State Trooper Buster Rinks.

This was especially difficult to cover because the guy was not acting irresponsibly, the accident was no fault of his, he was only a 2 years older than Andrew and he was returning home from college for the weekend. :(/>/>
