Jackson County, MS (July 29, 2023) – All westbound lanes of an interstate in Jackson County were blocked after a collision with injuries. Responders were dispatched to the scene of the incident shortly before 11:00 a.m. on July 27.
Two or more cars crashed on Interstate 10 near MS 609 South and the exit for Ocean Springs. Why the vehicles collided is still under local law enforcement investigation at this time.
Injured victims were treated at the crash site by paramedics before being taken to the hospital to receive additional treatment if needed. Currently, their names have not been reported.
Police in Jackson are still working to determine the cause of the crash.
Our thoughts are with everyone involved. We hope for their full and fast recovery.
