FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pafford EMS Ambulance Transporting Patient on I-55 Hit Head-On

WESSON, MS - [February 6, 2026] – Pafford EMS is heartbroken to confirm that one of our ambulances was involved in a serious crash last night on I-55 near Wesson, MS. The ambulance was traveling northbound and had two crew members on board, both of whom are currently in critical condition. They have both been flown to the nearest trauma center.

Unfortunately, we also received the heartbreaking news that the patient being transported in the ambulance was pronounced deceased at the scene. We are unsure of the condition of the driver who struck us head-on.

The Mississippi Highway Patrol (MHP) is the lead investigative agency for this tragic crash.

As we navigate through this difficult time, we ask for your compassion and to join us in praying for everyone affected. Our top priority remains the safety and full recovery of our crew members, and we are committed to supporting them in every way possible during their recovery journey.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all emergency services that promptly responded to this incident. Their support was invaluable in managing the situation. Thank you for everything you have done for these four patients tonight.

This information is preliminary and subject to change. If any updates are necessary, we will keep you updated via our page.
