Two junior high school students were killed in a rollover UTV crash in Goshen, Arkansas, leaving their families, classmates and the wider community mourning their deaths.

The Goshen Police Department said officers responded on September 19 to a rollover crash involving multiple juvenile occupants. When officers arrived, Goshen Fire Department personnel were already performing first aid, including CPR, on two teenage girls.

Despite efforts by first responders, both girls were pronounced dead at the scene. Four other people riding in the UTV suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene before being released.

The victims were identified by Woodland Junior High School as 12-year-old Savannah Parker and 13-year-old Olivia Pamungkas.

Police said the investigation into the crash remains ongoing and that no further information would be released at the time out of respect for the victims’ families.

“The City of Goshen and the Goshen Police Department extends its deepest condolences to the families, friends and all those affected by this tragic loss,” officials said.

Woodland Junior High School also offered condolences and thanked members of the community for supporting the families of Savannah and Olivia.

In an obituary, Savannah was remembered as a spirited and compassionate girl who brought energy and laughter to those around her. She was a seventh-grade member of Woodland Junior High’s dance team and an honors student.

Savannah also danced at Legacy Studio of Performing Arts in Fayetteville. The studio paid tribute to her, remembering her laughter, personality and the moments she shared with fellow dancers.

Olivia, 13, was described by her family as a kind-hearted girl who embraced life and loved spending time with friends and family. She enjoyed cheerleading, volleyball, shopping and creating digital content, as well as spending time with her mother and siblings.

The deaths also prompted additional support for students and staff in the school community. Fayetteville Public Schools Superintendent Dr. John Mulford said additional counseling would be available to those who needed it.

Mulford said the loss of children was deeply painful for the school community and emphasized that the district would continue supporting the families affected by the tragedy.

The investigation into the circumstances of the rollover crash remains ongoing.
