A native and former resident of Vicksburg died Saturday in a one-vehicle accident on County Road 5 in Carroll County, south of Vaiden, Carroll County Coroner Ken Strachan said.

Strachan said Jinx Peterson Smith, 20, of Vaiden, was killed about 5:10 p.m. when his southbound 2008 GMC Sierra pickup went off the right side of the road into a wooded area and flipped, ending upside down in a small creek near the road.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Smith was the son of Jinx Smith and the grandson of J.O. Smith Sr., founder of Big River Shipbuilders Inc. of Vicksburg.

Jinx Peterson Smith’s father drowned in July 2005 while doing underwater work at the family’s business at the Vicksburg Harbor.

His grandfather, who founded the business in 1988, died in 2006 of a heart attack.
