Vehicle crashes into Hunt Hale’s Alfa Insurance building

VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — A green SUV crashed into the Hunt Hale Alfa Insurance building on Clay Street near Adams Avenue around 8:45 p.m. Sunday, causing significant damage to the front of the building. Two suspects fled the scene.

Video footage obtained by Vicksburg Daily News shows the vehicle crashing into the building, smashing through the glass and brick of the front of the Hunt Hale Alfa Insurance building before a passenger door opens. One person attempts to exit the SUV, and the driver tries to reverse but is unable to move over the debris. Both the passenger and the driver then exit the vehicle and can be seen climbing over debris and falling inside the building. The two then exit the building and run east on Clay.

A short time later, family members of one of the suspects arrived at the scene and informed law enforcement that one of the individuals was en route to a hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash.

One person is in custody, according to Vicksburg Police Chief Penny Jones. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
