An Arkansas State Police trooper had to be freed from his patrol vehicle after it hydroplaned and crashed into a tree as he headed toward a truck wreck, the Texarkana Gazette reported on Thursday.
The wreck happened about 1:15 p.m. Thursday in Wilton in Little River County.
The trooper has been identified as Clayton McWilliams, 30 years old (above).
