A Yazoo City man has been indicted for vehicular homicide charges related to a November 2010 car wreck that killed 33-year-old Mary Monica Allen.
Freddie Rusche, 39, was indicted by a Yazoo County grand jury after an investigation by the Mississippi Highway Patrol revealed that he was intoxicated and driving at a high rate of speed in the one-car accident that killed Allen. Allen was Rusche’s longtime companion and the mother of his child.
Rusche suffered serious injuries in the accident.
He remains in the Yazoo County Jail and has a hearing set for March.
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.
