For a second straight year Yazoo County High School is mourning the loss of a senior to an auto accident.
David Edwards, 18, was killed Monday morning when his truck left the road and hit a tree before bursting into flames in a field on Fletcher’s Chapel Road. Yazoo County Coroner Ricky Shivers said Edwards was pronounced dead at the scene.
Edwards was a gifted student and was considered likely to serve as the valedictorian of his class.
Local ministers and counselors from Warren-Yazoo Mental Health Services were on campus Tuesday to help students cope with grief. Principal Becky Fisher said the situation is one that school administrators unfortunately have experience with.

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.
