The Arkansas State Police (ASP) has arrested a suspect following a high-speed pursuit that led to a crash that injured two elderly people.
On Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026, around 7 p.m., an ASP Trooper attempted to stop a Hyundai Sonata traveling northbound on Interstate 555 at the 24-mile marker for a traffic violation.
The driver of the vehicle, 32-year-old Laloyd L. Hamilton, did not stop and accelerated to approximately 130 mph, initiating a pursuit.
As the pursuit approached the 28-mile marker, the Trooper performed a tactical vehicle intervention (TVI).
The suspect's vehicle collided with a third vehicle, causing it to overturn on the east side of I-555.
A 68-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man occupying the third-party vehicle were transported to Regional One Medical Center in Memphis with serious injuries.
