Trooper Eric Henry, of the Mississippi Highway Department, says the wet conditions did play a part in the accident; "We continue to ask motorist to slow down or to avoid travel in this bad weather. We have had 3 fatal accidents in the past 24 hrs in the Jackson District. Again allow yourself plenty of time when traveling, speed plays a major factor in raining and icy road conditions."
