SHERIDAN, Ark. — On the afternoon of Saturday, July 12, 2025, at approximately 1:56 p.m., a multi-vehicle crash involving a semi-truck claimed the life of 61-year-old Margaret Cobb of Sheridan. The crash occurred at the intersection of Highway 167 North and Grant 58 in Sheridan, Grant County.

According to the Arkansas State Police, the incident involved four vehicles:

• A 2004 Peterbilt 378 (Vehicle 1) traveling north on Hwy 167

• A 1999 Ford F250 (Vehicle 2) pulling another vehicle westbound on Grant 58

• A 2024 GMC Terrain (Vehicle 3) traveling north on Hwy 167

• A 2004 Chevy Silverado (Vehicle 4) also on Grant 58

The crash occurred when Vehicle 2 was attempting to back up on Hwy 167 after a tow strap broke. Vehicle 3 came to a stop on Hwy 167, but was rear-ended by Vehicle 1. The impact pushed Vehicle 3 into Vehicle 2.

Margaret L. Cobb, age 61 of Sheridan, who was driving the GMC Terrain (Vehicle 3), was killed in the crash. No other injuries were reported at the time.

The incident is under investigation by Trooper John D. Crow (Badge 122) of the Arkansas State Police. Cobb’s body is being held at the Grant County Coroner's Office.
