UPDATE – 6:50 p.m. – Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey has released the names of the deceased in the accident on Highway 27 at 3:02 a.m. Dead are 39-year-old Miguel Sajbin of Guatemala and 23-year-old Thomasa Joselyn LuxPu.

UPDATE – 4:19 a.m. – Two people have died in the accident.

A single vehicle accident in the 6100 block of Hwy 27 has claimed the lives of two people.

The SUV carrying 3 people had out-of-state plates. At about ten minutes before 3 a.m., the SUV left the roadway, rolled and hit a tree with some force, trapping the occupants in the vehicle. The first unit to arrive at the scene described the damage as heavy and that it prevented them from making contact with the occupants.

Warren County Firefighters, Rescue, law enforcement and two firemedic units worked for some time to get one person out of the vehicle. That person was taken by ambulance to an area hospital and then taken by medical helicopter to UMMC in Jackson. Additional units were called in and the roadway was shut down while they attempted to free the occupants.
