Aleshia Guerra, 39, of Lepanto died this past Friday night when a motorcycle slammed into her utility terrain vehicle. The crash happened at 6:50 p.m. on State Highway 140 in rural Poinsett County.
Guerra was turning her Polaris Ranger into a private driveway when a Suzuki GSXR 1000 driven by 23-year-old Xzavier D. Reed, of Jonesboro, collided with her UTV. Both vehicles came to a rest in a ditch on the south side of the highway. Guerra was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:26 p.m. Reports said Reed had passed several vehicles prior to impact.
Reed and three minors who were riding on the UTV, all of Lepanto, suffered injuries and were taken to the hospital.
