NATCHEZ — A three-vehicle accident on Southwind Road Wednesday afternoon left all three drivers injured.

Adams County Investigator Ricky Stevens said Howard Buckley, 55, of Natchez was driving in the westbound lane on Southwind Road, when Christopher McIntyre, 20, of Vicksburg, who was traveling eastbound, crossed into his lane.

Buckley pulled his car out of the way to avoid a head-on collision, and McIntyre collided into Buckley’s car on the side.

Meanwhile, Walter Thomas Jr., 22, of Natchez, was driving behind Buckley in the westbound lane and witnessed the collision.

He had stopped completely, Stevens said, but after McIntyre collided with Buckley, his car continued forward to crash into Thomas’ car.

The Natchez Fire Department had to assist in the extrication of McIntyre from his car.

All three drivers were transported to a local hospital with moderate injuries.
