At 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Mississippi Highway Patrol responded to Mississippi Highway 3 near Bellbottom Road to an accident involving two vehicles, said MHP pubic affairs state trooper Eric D. Henry.

A Dodge Ram was traveling south on Mississippi Highway 3 when it was rear ended by a Ford F-150 that was also traveling southbound, Henry said.

There was also a passenger inside the Dodge that was taken to River Region with injuries.

The driver of the Ford was taken to River Region with injuries.

Alcohol may have played a factor in the crash, Henry said.
