From the Mississippi Highway Patrol
The Mississippi Highway Patrol is still investigating a two-vehicle
accident that claimed the life of a Ripley man. Troopers were dispatched to the
late Wednesday night accident on MS 370 in Benton County approximately 1/4 mile
from the Tippah County line.
Upon arriving it appeared Michael S Love, 55, of Ripley, was traveling east bound, in a 2004 Ford F-150, when he apparently side swiped a west bound, 1995 Plymouth Neon, driven by Kayla King, 24, of Ashland.
