JONES COUNTY, MS — Multiple people were reported hurt Tuesday morning near Ellisville following a multi-vehicle wreck involving an 18-wheeler, according to WDAM<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Jones County Sheriff’s Office said the collision took place at 1924 Mississippi State Highway 29 (MS-29), in the Johnson Community. It was first reported at around 6:50 p.m., drawing a response from several area agencies, including the Johnson Volunteer Fire Department, South Jones Fire and Rescue, and the Mississippi Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n

While the cause of the accident remains unclear, preliminary details indicate a semi-truck, a waste management truck, and a passenger car were all involved.<\/p>\n

Several injuries were reported and at least one person was said to have been left trapped, but the JCSO said all patients declined transport to a hospital, suggesting minor injuries. Medical evaluations were conducted on the scene.<\/p>\n

At the time of the initial report, the Mississippi Department of Transportation’s traffic map showed backups across all area lanes of traffic. Alternate routes were recommended.<\/p>\n
