Parker Kelly and JD Lee were injured in a single car accident on Old Port Gibson Road early this morning. Immediately after the accident, Kelly, who was not seriously injured at that time, went to get help for his friend, JD Lee. Lee had several broken ribs and damage to his vertebrae. As Kelly was trying to get help, a car hit him causing serious injury including a broken hip. The driver of the hit and run vehicle stopped, heard him yelling in pain and kept going.

This is a developing story with a lot of unknown elements. The family still doesn’t know who found Kelly and carried him to the hospital. Parker believes it was a Nissan Ultima that hit him.  No other information on the hit and run vehicle is available at this time.

The accident happened on Old Port Gibson Road in Claiborne County. Calls and texts to law enforcement in Claiborne County have not been answered.
