In MONTICELLO, Ark. (AP) – Authorities say a man in southern Arkansas has died after a tall TV antenna fell on top of him as reported by Fox 16 News in Little Rock.

Monticello Police Lieutenant Carlos Garcia says the man, who has not been identified, was strapped to the antenna about 2 p.m. Thursday. He was trying to take a piece of it apart when it toppled into the yard and crushed him in a residential area of Monticello.

Garcia says the tower was between 75 and 150 feet high and that the man had climbed near the top when the antenna fell.

Police suspect the wind, combined with the weight of the man and the top-heavy tower, caused it to tumble.

From Fox 16 news: MOUNT PLEASANT, Ark. (AP) — A sand mining and processing facility near Mount Pleasant has agreed to pay a $125,000 fine for violations of the Arkansas Pollution Control Act.

The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality said Monday it’s signed a consent judgment decree with Bluebird Sand LLC in Izard County Circuit Court.

The agency says it discovered last November that a levee failed at one of Bluebird Sand’s wastewater holding ponds, allowing the wastewater to flow into a nearby creek. The ADEQ says on Dec. 5, another wastewater release from Bluebird’s facility into the creek resulted in a fish kill.

The ADEQ says Bluebird Sand didn’t have a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. Under the agreement, Bluebird Sand cannot use a settling basin for recycling of process water until such a permit is obtained.

Today’s THV reports the death of Anthony Holloway in an automobile accident early Thursday morning.

Three others are seriously injured after their vehicle struck a small bridge culvert.

When authorities arrived on the scene at Lawson Road, they found the driver, Anthony Holloway, nonresponsive and not breathing. He was pronounced dead at the scene by MEMs.

Four other passengers were in the car with Holloway when he struck the culvert in a 1994 Honda Accord. Two passengers were ejected from the vehicle and landed in a small creek underneath the bridge. Both have extensive injuries, although at the time of the report, it was unknown how severe they are.

The fourth passenger had to be extracted from the vehicle by the West Pulaski Fire Department and also has serious injuries.

The fifth passenger walked away from the accident with only minor injuries.

All are juveniles, so their names are not being released by police.

While the coroner was removing Holloway’s body, a small bag of suspected marijuana was found. Two unlabeled prescription bottles containing several pills were also found. The marijuana was submitted to the property room as evidence and the pills were sent to a lab to be identified.
