VIDALIA — Sentencing for the Vidalia teen charged in a fatal single-vehicle accident was rescheduled Wednesday by Seventh District Judge Kathy Johnson.

Cody Allen McEntyre, 17, 115 North Grove, Vidalia, is charged with negligent homicide and negligent injuring in relation to the late March accident that claimed the life of 18-year-old Jimmy Williams Jr. of Vidalia.

McEntyre pleaded guilty to the two charges Oct. 20, and is currently being held until sentencing.

The sentencing was rescheduled for 9:30 a.m. Friday Dec. 10.

The case began March 28, when the Louisiana State Police responded to an early morning crash involving a Chevrolet Cobalt on Mooselodge Road.

McEntyre, the driver of the vehicle, reportedly lost control as it entered a curve in the road.

The vehicle began to rotate to the right, traveling 160 feet before leaving the road, according to an LSP release at the time of the accident.

The vehicle traveled another 65 feet before turning over on its left side and striking a utility pole.

Three people were in the vehicle: McEntyre, Jimmy Wiliams and 17-year-old Jenny Jo Williams.

Jimmy Williams had to be removed from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Jenny Jo Williams, the sister of the deceased, and McEntyre were transported to local hospitals and treated for injuries.

None of the passengers in the vehicle were wearing seat belts.
