Jackson, MS (December 28, 2023) – A serious car crash happened in Jackson on the evening of December 28. At least one person was hurt in the accident that occurred on Interstate 10 near exit 61/Pascagoula River Bridge. Two or more cars collided for reasons still under local law enforcement investigation. EMS transported those with injuries to the hospital by ambulance, however, the extent of the injuries suffered in the wreck has not been reported. Extensive traffic delays ensued in the area for some time on Thursday evening, forcing local drivers to use alternate routes.
We hope for the full recovery of the injured victims.
Mississippi Car Wrecks
Hundreds lose their lives per year because of car crashes in the state of Mississippi. Oftentimes, people are killed due to the negligent actions of others. In 2018, auto collisions in the Magnolia State showed that more than 50% of reported car wrecks in Mississippi were caused by driver negligence.
The most prevalent forms of negligent driving demonstrated among American drivers include speeding, intoxication, distraction, and fatigue. For instance, driving while distracted causes over 400,000 auto collisions per year. These wrecks end the lives of approximately 3,000 individuals and cause injuries for thousands of others. Severe injuries may be caused by these types of wrecks, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Damage to internal organs
- Paralysis
