SUMMARY: Good evening, I’m Craig Ford with WTV 9 News at 6. A Clay County high school student, Rico Collins, and his horse Boon were struck by a hit-and-run driver Monday night on Waverly Road near West Point. Boon’s injuries were so severe that he had to be euthanized. Rico suffered a concussion and injuries to his neck, back, and wrist. Rico shared his deep bond with Boon, describing the horse as his best friend. The incident is under investigation, and authorities are searching for the driver of a red truck. Anyone with information should contact the Clay County Sheriff’s Office or Golden Triangle Crime Stoppers.

SUMMARY: The Heidelberg Volunteer Fire Department is expanding its fleet with a $10,000 grant from State Farm’s Good Neighbor Firefighter Safety Program, just in time for National Fire Prevention Week. The funding will help the department purchase equipment for a new pumper truck, which they ordered in January 2023 for $320,000. Chief Prince Henley notes that while the truck will arrive soon, it won’t be fully equipped, requiring transfers from older trucks. Many of their vehicles exceed the typical 15-year lifespan, leading to costly repairs. The department has already received over 254 calls this year, emphasizing the need for support in small towns.
