A City of Vicksburg worker remained in the hospital after a two-vehicle wreck Thursday afternoon on North Washington Street.

Ellis Stamps, 44, 59 Cottonwood St., Cary, was taken to River Region Medical Center, where he was in fair condition this morning, hospital spokesman Allen Karel said.

Vicksburg police Sgt. Jackie Johnson said Stamps, who works for the right of way department, was driving a grass-cutting tractor south on North Washington around 1:45 p.m. when he attempted to turn his tractor across the northbound lane and onto Spouts Spring Road. The tractor was broadsided by a southbound 18-wheeler that was attempting to pass the slower-moving vehicle.

The driver of the truck, Eddie Ray Butler, 62, 2610 Ken Karyl Ave., was not injured.

Stamps’ supervisor, Ray Banks, who was driving in another vehicle behind him, said the tractor, valued between $65,000 and $70,000, was totaled.
