Kim Perkins, 39, was trying to flag down help after her car ran out of gas around 9:40 p.m. Friday night on U.S. 70 near Cypress Creek Road, five miles west of Lonoke, when she was struck and killed. The driver didn’t stop. A State Police news release said there would likely be “significant damage” to the right front corner of the truck, possibly extending along the passenger side.
