A 2007 graduate of Yazoo County High School was killed while peforming a trick on his motorcycle on a Jackson highway.
Paris Littleton, 22, lost control of his motorcycle while "walking” it on U.S. Highway 80 last Thursday. According to Jackson Police, Littleton drove into a drainage ditch, which caused him to be thrown from the motorcycle.
Littleton died Monday at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Funeral services are today at 1 p.m. at Yazoo County High School.
After graduating from YCHS, Littleton went on to earn his associate’s degree in criminal justice at Hinds Community College. He was working on his criminal justice degree at Jackson State University.
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.
