WEBSTER COUNTY — A five-year-old boy died Monday morning following a one-vehicle accident that occurred a mile and a half south of Mathiston.
Mississippi Highway Patrol troopers said the boy, whose name they did not release, was a back seat passenger in a 1992 white Mazda Protege headed south on State Highway 403 when the car veered off the roadway, hit a culvert and overturned at 8:55 a.m. Monday. The crash occurred just south of Shine Jewel Road, troopers said.
The boy — who troopers did say was from the Clarkson community in Webster County — was not restrained and was thrown from the car, troopers said. He was pronounced dead at the scene, troopers said.
The driver of the car, Keely Elizabeth Avent, 22, also of the Clarkson community, was wearing her seat belt and was transported to North Mississippi Medical Center in Eupora following the crash, treated and released.
The crash remains under investigation by the Highway Patrol.
