August 2, 2025 at 12:42 PMI delivered a load to ridgeland last Friday morning at 7 am it took about an hour and a half for them to unload me and it’s about an hour 20 minutes back to kosciusko ,i delivered at the same time this Friday and it took them the same length of time to unload me but when I got back on hwy 12 and passed the spot this wreck occurred I looked at the time and it was 10:05 am so if the wreck happened 10:15 I just had barely went through and most likely meet the log truck that was involved,that is very scary
