A Vicksburg man was in critical condition at a Jackson hospital Saturday night after being thrown from his car in an early-morning wreck on Tucker Road, University Medical Center spokesman Jack Mazurak said.

Alvin Dewayne Tilley, 21, 13950 U.S. 61 South, was southbound when he lost control of a 2009 Toyota Corolla he was driving and the vehicle flipped, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.

Tilley was ejected from the car, and was found in the road by deputies and emergency medical technicians who responded at 2:35 a.m., Pace said.

He was taken to River Region Medical Center and then airlifted to UMC in Jackson.

Also injured in the wreck were Tilley’s four passengers: Ashley Baker, 18, 968 Redwood Road; Harley Vickers, 17, Greyline Drive; Ely Wallace, 20, 503 St. Benard St., Delta, La.; and Corey Wilson, 18, 915 Locust St.

They were taken to River Region, Pace said. Baker and Wallace were treated and released, hospital spokesman Diane Gawronski said. The hospital had no record of Vickers or Wilson being treated, Gawronski said.

Pace said Tilley got distracted while driving, veered off the right side of the road and then overcompensated. Tilley was not wearing a seatbelt, the sheriff said, and it was not clear whether the passengers were restrained.
