The Mississippi Highway Patrol on Tuesday released details about a weekend crash in Clayton Village that left a Dispatch newspaper carrier in critical condition.
Winston Minor had just driven his silver 2003 Ford Explorer south down the Highway 82 off-ramp Sunday at about 2 a.m. and was attempting to cross Highway 182 when he was struck on the driver’s side by a westbound 2007 Freightliner, said Mississippi Highway Patrol Public Affairs Officer Brian Mobley. It is unclear if Minor came to a halt or ran the stop sign at the end of the off-ramp, Mobley said.
“The only people who would know that are the two drivers,” Mobley said. “Even if he did stop, at some point he came out into the flow of traffic.”
Minor was transported to Oktibbeha County Hospital, then flown to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. He was still in critical condition this morning.
