Does anyone know anything about an accident on Hwy 43 where North Jackson intersects? Traffic was backed up over an hour.

Am I reading correctly that Haney clipped Taylor turning onto another road? So, Haney was tailgaiting?

Please note that this is only MY take on reading the article . . . .
When it said that Mr Haney was attempting to change lanes to exit onto Jackson, in my mind that put HIM in the left lane and Mr Taylor in the right lane. So, when Mr Haney attempted to move over into the right lane to exit onto Jackson, he clipped Mr Taylor's truck, which caused Mr Taylor to shoot across the median into the path of Mr Cooper.
This matches the orange spray paint on the road, at least to me.
But again, this is just how I read the article.

If you go to Haney's myspace you will see what kind of person he seems to be and you can judge his character! I know they say don't judge a book by it's cover, but it is kinda hard when you look at the pictures and everything on his page... http://www.myspace.com/josh92990

I'm a strong supporter of folks being held accountable for their actions. If the investigation concludes that Mr Haney was indeed behaving in a reckless manner (speeding, trying to squeeze between 2 cars, under the influence, whatever) then I'll be the first in line to agree with throwing the book at him.
But, I'd also like to wait and see what the investigation shows. I work in downtown Rville and live in one of the sub-divisions just off 43 within sight of this accident. I go through this intersection on average 5-6 times a day. It's a dangerous intersection and there are many possible causes of this wreck.

So this wasn't an "accident" -- he purposely clipped the guy? He wasn't just being irresponsible and mess up? He purposely said I'm gonna get this mother out of my way and nailed him in the end? If you have never followed too closely or been speeding or been in too big of a hurry to wait -- please stand up...
I for one have had a couple of car accidents -- some my fault and some not. I have had speeding tickets and one that could have been wreckless driving due to the speed. I have had a ticket for following too closely. While fortunately none of my accidents resulted in anyone getting anything more than bruises and messed up cars -- by the judgement of this "accident" ya'll would have me in the electric chair...
I am sorry to the man's family and friends that you lost your loved one and I pray for peace in your time of need. I pray for a speedy recovery to those that were injured and to the young man that caused the whole thing -- I pray you find peace as well because I'm sure the guilt will be far worse than any judgment from a court of your peers...

I guess the main thing is this guy's age, he doesn't have much experience driving. He was in the left lane and wanted to make a right turn. Maybe he didn't see Taylor at all, or maybe he did think Taylor wouldn't slow down for the speed decrease because he after all he never did? Who knows? It's sad that two people are hurt/dead.
You also gotta wonder how much insurance this guy had. And you know that Taylor's family if not the older gentleman's will sue. This guy is just 17 and he's already in debt for years unless he or his parents had a lot of extra insurance. Sad.

I know that i'm over a week late on my inquiry but does anyone know of a fatal crash that happened on Tuesady or Wednesday of last week ( before Thanksgiving ) involving the fatality of a Tishomingo woman? It supposedly happened on underwood mtn.
