Canton, MS (April 29, 2022) – Serious injuries resulted from a tractor-trailer crash that took place on a major Canton highway on Friday afternoon, April 29.
According to Mississippi Highway Patrol officials, the accident happened in the northbound lanes of I-55 near the area of mile marker 148. A driver, identified as 34-year-old Carl Hall, was traveling in the area in his BMW when his vehicle crashed into the back of a tractor-trailer. The BMW got wedged underneath the truck, which led to extensive damages.
Paramedics, fire crews, and several other local responders were called to the scene to help those in need. Hall was severely injured and rushed to a local hospital by medical helicopter. There was an infant passenger in his vehicle who did not sustain injuries. The driver of the truck was not injured as well.
The roadway was blocked in several lanes of traffic for a period of time as the scene was being cleared.
No further details have been released but the investigation into the circumstances of the collision continues.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family in hopes of a full recovery.
