Multiple people were killed and several more injured Monday evening in a hayride accident in Newton County.

It happened before 8 p.m. on Highway 80 in Chunky. Sgt. Andy West with the Miss. Highway Patrol says multiple people were killed and several people were injured in that accident involving a hayride and another vehicle.

"There were two vehicles involved. One of the vehicles was pulling a trailer, which was loaded with several occupants. Adults and children were on the trailer. Both vehicles were traveling westbound on Highway 80 when an F-150 collided into the rear of the trailer," said Sgt. Andy West.
