Two killed in U.S. 65 crash in Chicot County

Posted by Max Brantley on Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 11:22 AM

Two Hot Springs Village residents were killed and two others from Hot Springs Village were injured Sunday afternoon when their car ran off U.S. Highway 65 in Chicot County.

State Police said the dead were John Thyfault, 80 and Lois Thyfault, 78, both passengers in a car driven by Edward Levy, 72. Levy and Sharon Levy, 63, were both hospitalized.

The police said the car was northbound about 2:45 p.m. when it veered off the road and hit a concrete divider, then went back across the northbound lanes, drove through a guard rail and into a ditch, where the 2003 Olds spun around before hitting a tree. Only Edward Levy was wearing a seatbelt.

Edward Levy == Ed Levy? That name sounds familiar to me.

I wonder how many accidents on state and county highways are caused by sharp shoulders. There seem to be quite a few roads with them in my neck of the woods.

Wrong Ed... The one on the highway is much too old, and the Ed we know was still sending e-mail this morning ;-)

Outlier: Most crashes (not accidents) like this are caused by one or two things, or both: Not paying attention to what you're supposed to e doing (driving), and driving too fast... Doing both at the same time is the short cut to the cemetery.

And death and injuries are often caused by not wearing your seat belt.

Don't know what caused the accident, but do have sympathy for those involved, and condolences for their families--and the survivors, in the loss of their friends.
