A LifeNet worker sprints across the scene where two people were severely injured Tuesday evening after two motorcycles struck a car at a high rate of speed, causing the vehicle and one motorcycle to catch fire at the intersection of Malvern and Hollywood Avenue. Hot Springs police Cpl. Kirk Zaner said one motorcycle struck the car head-on and the second struck its side. One of the motorcycle drivers was reportedly launched into the parking lot of National Park Hospital and the second was found lying in the road. One witness described the impact as sounding "like a bomb" going off. Hospital personnel were assisting one victim when LifeNet arrived on the scene.
