“We had a vehicle northbound on Old Highway 27, just north of the intersection with Indiana Avenue,” stated Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace. “[The vehicle] left the road, struck a concrete mailbox, three pine trees and overturned.”

Pace stated that one adult male was transported to River Region Medical Center by Vicksburg Fire Department paramedics.

“It appears that speed is definitely going to be a factor. We’re not sure other contributing factors may be here,” stated Pace.

The section of roadway between Blossom Lane and Indiana Avenue is expected to be blocked until around 4 p.m.
