A 19-year-old remains in stable condition after being struck by a vehicle Monday evening.
Maj. Larry Davis said the young man was riding his bicycle down the hill on 12th Street when he was involved in an accident around 7:20 p.m.
“Either his brakes went out, or he ran the stop sign at the bottom of the hill,” Davis said. “He came out onto Grady Avenue and was hit by a car.”
Davis said no charges were filed.
“It was clearly an accident,” he said. “It doesn’t look like the driver was drunk or speeding. I don’t see where any charges could be brought.”
The victim was airlifted to a Jackson hospital shortly after the accident. He was listed in stable condition in a private room as of press time.
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
