Just before 3:00 am, on Saturday, December 21, 2024, northwest patrol officers responded to 18600 Chenal Valley Drive for a suspicious vehicle, heavily damaged, in the roadway. When officers arrived, they discovered 27-year-old Joshua Claxton unresponsive on the side of the roadway. Despite life-saving measures from MEMS and RESCUE, Claxton died at the scene. Preliminary information suggests the vehicle may have left the roadway and struck two trees. Supervisors responded and notified Accident Reconstruction Officers. The Pulaski County Coroner’s Office responded and transported the deceased individual to the Arkansas State Crime Lab, and next of kin was notified.
Accident Reconstruction Officers responded to process the scene and take photographs, collect evidence, and take measurements. At this point in the investigation, no charges have been filed pending a comprehensive review. This investigation is ongoing.
