Two bodies recovered

Rescuers on Saturday recovered the body of a second man who disappeared in a landslide at a gravel pit in southern Mississippi earlier this month.

SELMER, Tenn. — A man and a woman were killed Saturday afternoon when an elderly driver crashed through a barricade and hit them during the Rockabilly Highway Revival Festival and Car Show in Selmer.

The couple who died were taken to Shackelford Funeral Home, and the driver of the car and his passenger were taken by ambulance to Magnolia Hospital in Corinth, Mississippi, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, which was notified of the accident at 1:48 p.m.

Lt. Barry Siler said the cause of the accident was under investigation and the Tennessee Highway Patrol was not releasing names of the two killed or of the driver Saturday.

Bo Jack Killingsworth and Billy Burney said they saw the accident happen and they knew the couple who were killed. They said the couple were engaged and that the man ran a hot rod shop in Corinth.

Killingsworth and Burney said Court Avenue in downtown Selmer was blocked off for the car show, but the elderly man drove his 1987 Fort LTD through the barricade, down the street and through an intersection.

Selmer is about 90 miles east of Memphis in McNairy County. 901-529-2520
