Ark. Health Dept. Director Killed
ERRATA: Apparently Dr. Boozman was working on a barn and one of the steel walls of a horse stall collapsed on him, not a gate as was reported yesterday. Still, what a terribly tragic accident.
One of the local papers is reporting this morning that Dr. Fay Boozman, director of Arkansas' Health Department, was killed in a farm accident yesterday.
Rogers and Lowell emergency personnel responded to a call concerning an industrial or agricultural accident at 4:11 p.m. at 11140 Mount Hebron Road, according to Sgt. Scott Clifton of the Rogers Police. A man was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Clifton.
According to scanner traffic, emergency personnel responded to a call of a man crushed by a large gate. Upon arriving on the scene, they immediately called for the Benton County coroner for an unattended death.
Our condolences to his family.
