Mississippi state troopers were still looking this morning for three people they say fled the scene of an accident Tuesday night that killed an Alcorn State University soccer player.

Sgt. James Walker, a spokesman for the Mississippi Highway Patrol, said Angie Riggins, 19, was one of four people in a car that left a road near the rear entrance of campus.

&#8220The driver ran off the road to the right, came back on the road, crossed the road again, hit Wingo’s and then hit a pole and was ejected,” Walker said. Riggins &#8220died on the scene.” Wingo’s is a restaurant just off the Lorman campus of the 3,500-student university.

Two other passengers and the driver ran away, Walker said. Riggins’ body was left behind at the scene.

Authorities want to interview the others in what was apparently a single-vehicle accident.

&#8220The loss of a young life is always tragic, particularly in the case of Angie, a 19-year-old newly arrived freshman who had declared nutrition and dietetics as her major,” a press release from Alcorn said. She had been a member of the college soccer team since enrollment, said a spokesman in the public relations office.

Riggins is the daughter of Otha and Maria Riggins of Roxie.

Funeral arrangements were incomplete.

The accident came about two weeks after the university’s president, Dr. Clinton Bristow, 57, died of heart failure while jogging at a track on the campus.
