TCHULA, Mississippi (AP) — Tchula Police Chief Anthony Jones was killed Friday in an accident in Holmes County.
Sheriff Willie March and the Highway Patrol confirm Jones was one of three people who died in the 7 p.m. accident on U.S. Highway 49 south of Tchula.
Highway Patrol spokesman Tony Dunn says a Ford F-150 was traveling south on U.S. 49 when it veered to avoid another vehicle that was stopped on the highway. He says the truck collided with two vehicles headed northbound and caught fire.
The other victims’ names have not yet been released.
