Fatal Collision on US 79 Near Pine Bluff, AR
62-year-old Victor Ray Montgomery (North Little Rock, AR) was fatally injured in an accident on Monday, August 14, 2023.
At approximately 7:40 a.m. Mr. Victor Montgomery was directing school traffic outside Joe T. Robinson Elementary when a westbound vehicle (not identified in the police report) entered the turn lane and continued straight striking Mr. Montgomery.
Mr. Montgomery was transported to Baptist Health Medical Center in Little Rock where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The Pulaski County Special School District released the following statement regarding the incident:
“PCSSD is very upset and saddened that this accident happened. It is imperative for motorists to slow down in school zones. There are three schools within walking distance of each other in this area of Highway 10/Cantrell Road. There is absolutely no reason for any motorist to drive above the speed limit in this area any time of day, much less during school drop off and pick up time. This could have been avoided if motorists were more attentive and aware of their surroundings while driving in school zones.
Officer Montgomery has been with PCSSD for seven years, all spent in the Robinson area serving Robinson High School and assisting with traffic at the elementary school. We’re all neighbors out in the Robinson community. This could have been prevented with mindful driving and paying more attention in our school zones.”
This investigation is currently ongoing. We will continue providing updates as more information becomes available.”
