Car Hits and Kills 2 Mississippi Transportation Employees

Two men were killed Monday after being hit by a car while covering some icy Mississippi roads with sand.

The two Mississippi Department of Transportation employees Tyler Kilsby, 25, and Leon Sims, 43, were working on a road when 82-year-old Dorothy Crawley crashed into them. Crawley came to a stop after smashing into a truck.

Kilsby and Sims were unable to survive their injuries. Medical crews arrived and rushed Crawley and the truck driver, 57-year-old Percy Leggett, to a local hospital for treatment. Leggett was released later that day and Crawley has been listed to be in stable condition.

The icy roads may have played a part in the crash. The Lumberton Police are conducting a full investigation into the fatal accident.
