Printer friendly version of this article   

A two-vehicle accident Monday afternoon on Highway 82 just west of the Highway 45 Alternate exit claimed a Starkville man’s life.

Nicholas Hendrix, 29, of 635 Hendricks Road in Starkville, was killed when his late-model Chevrolet Trailblazer crossed the median while traveling west and was struck head-on by an eastbound 18-wheeler.

The collision tore the Trailblazer’s body from its frame and smashed the front of the 18-wheeler. Hendrix was taken to Oktibbeha County Hospital where he was pronounced dead by Oktibbeha County Coroner Michael Hunt at 2:28 p.m. Hunt cited multi-system trauma as the cause of death.

The driver of the 18-wheeler, Mark McCord of Ecru, was treated for minor injuries at OCH and released.

An additional minor crash occurred in the area of the fatal accident. Authorities on the scene reported it was the result of motorists failing to mind traffic as they drove past the accident.

The minor accident resulted in one driver being transported to OCH and another to Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle.
