DODDRIDGE, Ark. (AP) — Two stars of the reality TV show "Swamp People" are unhurt after being involved in a five-car pileup near the Arkansas-Louisiana state line
Arkansas State Police say three people suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries in Monday's crash on U.S. 71.
The Texarkana Gazette reports (http://is.gd/i7AGTL ) that alligator hunters Joe LaFont and Tommy Chauvin, known as Trapper Joe and Trigger Tommy, were not injured. "Swamp People" T-shirts and other merchandise from the show spilled from their truck onto the highway.
Police say four cars had stopped for a flagman directing traffic around highway maintenance work but that a fifth driver failed to halt and smashed into a tractor-trailer, causing the pileup.
The History Channel's "Swamp People" follows a group of Louisiana alligator hunters in the Atchafalaya Swamp.
