Pea Ridge police reported a rollover accident involving a dump truck at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday caused a large fuel spill that led hazmat crews to close all lanes on Highway 72 and Dove Road near Jac's Ranch—1.1 miles northwest of Little Flock and 2.6 miles southwest of State Highway 94.
Brendan Quirk, CEO of USA Cycling, said Bentonville’s tough trails helped riders build key skills when he announced the U.S. Mountain Bike championship team at Tuesday’s news conference—he noted that local training is vital as team members like Hallie Batten and Landrie McClain prepare for the World Championships in Switzerland and the 2028 Olympics. This local training is set to play a major role in the team’s international success.
