UNDATED (Hot Springs Daily) - An accident Tuesday afternoon on the western edge of the city limits in Hot Springs ended up with a car landing on its roof but the way it got that way was quite out of the ordinary.

It occurred shortly after 2pm in the 2800 block of Albert Pike Road at the entrance to The Atrium Retirement Community.

A 1997 Ford pickup was traveling eastbound pulling a Buick Park Avenue on a utility trailer when somehow the car came off the trailer and flipped upside down near the side of the highway.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (KTHV) - Authorities have been dealing with an unknown substance in Lake Hamilton since 10:30 Wednesday morning.

County Judge Rick Davis says a resident in the Silverwood Terrace area noticed a visible "sheen" on the water and notified the Garland County Department of Emergency Management.

Emergency management authorities searched the land and water in the area and found evidence of what Davis calls an "unknown substance" discovered in an isolated area. A sample was collected and sent for testing.

Katherine Benenati with the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality says they are not sure of the source of the substance.

Inspectors searched farther upstream for the substance, but found nothing out of the ordinary. Davis says when they returned to the original area, they found the area clear and the substance was gone.
