VALLEY PARK, Miss. (AP) - A Greenville man is among those killed during severe weather that swept through Mississippi and other parts of the South.
A coroner says 56-year-old Nicky Lee Painter was driving south Monday afternoon on U.S. Highway 61 near Valley Park in Issaquena County. His minivan hydroplaned, crossed the highway and hit a pickup truck.
Coroner Angela Eason says Painter was killed, and the driver of the pickup was treated for injuries.
Eason is the Sharkey County coroner but went to Issaquena County to work the wreck because the local coroner was busy. Eason says Tuesday that Painter’s vehicle was mangled.
