From Channel 4:

An accident has claimed the life of an Arkansas Department of Correction officer on prison grounds in Jefferson County.

Department of Correction spokesperson Dina Tyler says it happened Sunday at a private home located inside the Tucker Max Correctional Facility.

Tyler says Jackie Davis was killed when his girlfriend accidentally backed into him with her car.

It’s unclear if the woman didn’t see him or if she just hit the wrong pedal.
