What to do when you have a ‘deer in the headlights’
SUMMARY: Mississippi is a high-risk state for deer-vehicle collisions, especially from October to January, with a 40% increase in such incidents. Bob's Paint and Auto Body Shop in Columbus advises drivers to pull over and assess damage after a collision, first calling a tow service then insurance, and finally a body shop. Mississippi ranks seventh in the U.S. for deer collisions with a one in 64 chance. The Mississippi Department of Transportation warns against swerving for deer, instructing drivers to brake firmly. Despite the risk, local auto shops like Bob's are ready to assist motorists post-accident.

SUMMARY: In Hernando, Mississippi, inmate Joshua Zimmerman escaped from the DeSoto County Courthouse last Friday and remains at large. Zimmerman, a career criminal suspected of attempted murder, managed to leave the courthouse unnoticed after breaking away from a line of shackled inmates, changing into street clothes. DeSoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton expressed frustration and concern over the incident, emphasizing the potential danger posed by Zimmerman. The U.S. Marshals' Fugitive Task Force is conducting a manhunt, with rewards totaling $10,000 for information leading to his capture.
