The Alcorn County Sheriff's Office is investigating the cause of a mid-day crash that resulted in the death of two Kossuth High School students Wednesday.
According to a report from the Alcorn County Sheriff's Office, deputies went to County Road 617, about one mile west of Highway 2, in the Kossuth area, just before noon Wednesday in response to the report of a single vehicle crash.
The vehicle involved -- a 1993, four-door, Chevy Lumina -- was driven by Justin Armstrong, 18, of Corinth. Armstrong was believed to be killed instantly at the scene, according to Alcorn County Coroner Dan Leeth. There were two other students reportedly in the vehicle with Armstrong -- one was transported via Air Evac to the Regional Medical Center (The Med) in Memphis, Tenn., where he later died of injuries sustained during the collision.
A third student was transported to Magnolia Regional Health Center by Magnolia EMS. Alcorn County Sheriff's Deputy David Derrick released no names regarding the students pending the notification of the families of all parties involved.
Besides the aforementioned emergency officials, also assisting at the scene of the accident were the Corinth Fire Department, Kossuth Fire Department, Biggersville Fire Department, Alcorn County Emergency Services Office, Mississippi Highway Patrol and Alcorn County Constable Post. 2.
It appears the students were on their way to Vo-Tech, but no other details are known as the investigation is still underway. Derrick indicated more information will be released as it becomes available.
