A two-vehicle wreck on Mississippi 35 South Tuesday night resulted in victims in both vehicles needing to be cut out with the Jaws of Life.
Michelle Bedwell, 44, of Carson was in a Ford Explorer traveling south on the highway when it crossed the centerline and collided into a Lexus driven by Kimberly Hinton, 28 of Hattiesburg, who was driving north, according to a preliminary reported issued by the Mississippi Highway Patrol.
While the accident remains under investigation, all people involved in the wreck were taken to Forrest General Hospital for treatment of moderate injuries, the Highway Patrol said.
Highway 35 was closed for a time Tuesday night as first responders worked to get the victims out of the vehicles.
Agencies that responded to the wreck included the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, MHP and Southwest Marion, Foxworth, Tri-Community and Columbia fire departments.
