One dead in motorcycle accident on Sky Farm

One person has died in a single-vehicle motorcycle accident on Sky Farm Avenue in the city.

At around 9:40 p.m.,  a singular motorcycle was involved in an accident in the 2000 block of Sky Farm Avenue in the city. Numerous first responders raced to the scene to assist the injured motorcyclist. Air Care, a medical helicopter unit, was called to be put on stand-by due to the severity of the injuries. However, Air Care was unable to fly due to weather concerns. A secondary medical helicopter unit was contacted.

The motorcyclist was moved into the fire medic unit, and after about 15 minutes, the commander on the scene, Battalion One, called for the coroner to be sent to the accident location, indicating the motorcyclist had not survived the accident.

The Vicksburg Daily News will update this story once more information is made available.
