WALNUT, Miss. (AP) - The Mississippi Highway Patrol says a Walnut woman has died in a head-on crash in Benton County.
Authorities identified the victim as 43-year-old Jennifer Hopkins.
Investigators tell WTVA-TV (https://bit.ly/1g9c6Qp ) that an Oklahoma man was injured in the wreck, which happened at about 9 p.m. Tuesday on U.S. Highway 78 near the boundary of Benton and Tippah counties.
Troopers say Hopkins was westbound in a Chevrolet Blazer when she apparently lost control of the vehicle, crossed the median and collided head-on with a Volvo truck. Investigators say she died at the scene.
The unidentified Oklahoma truck driver was treated at a local hospital for minor injuries and released.
