A Vicksburg man was killed in a Saturday evening car accident near Rolling Fork.

Rodrick Montgomery, 39, was killed in a two-car accident involving his 2008 Nissan Altima and a 1998 Chevy Silverado, Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Cpl. Kervin Stewart confirmed.

Stewart said the accident occurred at approximately 10:45 p.m. Saturday on US 61 and South Parkway Drive just south of Rolling Fork in Sharkey County.

According to MHP’s preliminary report, the Silverado was traveling northbound and crossed into the path of Montgomery’s Altima, which was traveling southbound, causing a head-on collision.

Montgomery died as result of his injuries sustained in the crash, Stewart said. The driver of the Silverado was transported to Sharkey-Issaquena Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

A passenger in the truck was flown to University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson due to her injuries.
