Five Yazoo City High School students were involved in a tragic accident that left one female and her unborn child dead.
Jaylah Hall, 18, died Tuesday moments after being involved in an accident at the intersection of Highway 3 and Gordon Avenue.
Hall was a senior at Yazoo City High School.
Chief Eric Snow said the students had just been released from school when the accident occurred.
“The car the students were in were crossing Haley Barbour Parkway going to take another child home on Race Track Road,” Snow said.
A log truck heading south and the vehicle with the teenagers collided at the intersection. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
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.
