SUMMARY: Jordan Leah Sullivan, indicted on aggravated DUI charges for causing a fatal crash in Madison County, pleads not guilty. The incident occurred on June 22, 2024, when Sullivan drove southbound in the northbound lanes of Interstate 55, resulting in a head-on collision that killed 43-year-old Tyra Small-Jackson, a teacher from Canton, who had to be extricated from her vehicle. Two passengers in her vehicle suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Sullivan had a prior DUI arrest and was released on a $250,000 bond.

SUMMARY: In Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, volunteer firefighters conducted essential tests on their truck pumps to ensure they are operational. On October 9, the firefighters checked the equipment, emphasizing that functional gear can be critical during emergencies. Patrick Warner, the county’s Fire Coordinator, highlighted that these annual tests are necessary for maintaining proper insurance ratings, which can lead to lower homeowners’ insurance costs for residents. The standard requirement is for pumps to deliver 1,000 gallons per minute at 150 PSI, reinforcing the importance of readiness in safeguarding the community.
