Candice BondJasmine Hudgings, 32, was severely injured in a hit-and-run motorcycle crash near Highway 5 and Quail Trail in Cabot on October 25, according to her father, Mark Hudgings.
The Sunday Night Motorcycle Crash in Cabot
Jasmine Hudgings was riding as a passenger on a motorcycle driven by her boyfriend at about 9:45 p.m. Sunday. Mark Hudgings said a white truck turned left from Quail Trail toward town and into the path of the motorcycle. He said the couple tried to steer around the truck but were thrown from the motorcycle and ended up in a ditch. According to Mark Hudgings, the truck driver left the scene.
He said his daughter suffered a broken left femur, several broken bones in her ankle and severe knee damage. Surgeons at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences saved her leg, he said. The boyfriend had less serious injuries and went home from the hospital the same night.
Where the Arkansas State Police Inquiry Stands
Mark Hudgings said Arkansas State Police is handling the inquiry, which is still open. He described the truck as a newer white four-door pickup that may have damage near the rear driver's side and a bug guard on the front. He said his daughter is expected to stay in the hospital for at least another week, with months of recovery ahead. He asked anyone who saw the crash or recognizes the truck to contact Arkansas State Police.
Hit-and-run investigations can stay open for months. Some are solved long after the crash, when a new tip or piece of video comes in.
