Wreck on S. Frontage leaves three injured
Three Vicksburg residents were taken to the hospital after a three-car wreck at 1818 S. Frontage Road in front of Carpet One Friday afternoon.
Driver Amanda Comans, 18, and her passenger, Michael Jones, 19, both of 100 Jones Road Lot 7, were treated and released from River Region Medical Center, hospital spokesman Allen Karel said, after their 2004 Chevy Cavalier was struck at 1:29 p.m. by a 2008 Chevy Trailblazer driven by James F. Wind, 43, 401 Goodrum Road, Sgt. Jackie Johnson said.
Johnson said Wind’s passenger, Adelaide Wind, 77, same address, was also taken to River Region, but the hospital had no record of her.
Johnson said Comans, who was westbound on South Frontage Road, was attempting to turn left next to Carpet One, when Wind, who was traveling east, struck her vehicle. The impact of that collision carried over to another vehicle, a 2004 Dodge Neon, driven by Gordon Stevens, 25, 4405 Halls Ferry Road, Johnson said. No citations were issued.
