Jackson, MS (October 12, 2025) – A serious two-vehicle collision on Interstate 20 left multiple people injured late Thursday night, October 9, near the Gallatin Street area. According to the Jackson Police Department, a Mercury Marquis was heading westbound on I-20 when it struck an object in the roadway.

During the crash, a passenger in the Mercury Marquis was ejected from the vehicle. First responders rushed to the scene and transported the ejected passenger to a nearby hospital. Their current condition has not been made public. Officers noted that the driver of the Mercury suffered non-life-threatening injuries and received medical attention.
