KNWA reports that Matt Turner, a former anchor there who has been at KTHV-TV in Little Rock since July, was killed Saturday night in a wreck on Interstate 30 near Bryant.

The State Police said Turner, 32, was driving alone westbound when his Chevy Tahoe left the roadway, hit the base of a highway sign and caught fire.
