A pedestrian is dead after a two car accident on Highway 51 near Crystal Springs. "I was waiting for the flag man to release me so I can pass and a truck came over a hill and hit me from the back and pushed me in the ditch. My car ran over the flag man," says the driver of the Chevrolet Caprice that hit 39-year-old Garvin Barnes. The driver doesn't want his name released. Barnes was directing traffic while workers were paving Highway 51. He works for Dickerson and Barnes Asphalt Paving Company.
