East Central Community College reports several members of its workforce development staff are recovering from injuries sustained in a two-vehicle wreck late last week.

In a news release, the college said it happened Friday afternoon on Highway 25 bypass, north of Louisville.

ECCC said Joey Kenna of Forest, Roger Whitlock of Union and Lucretia Williams of Lena had the most serious injuries of the eight who were traveling in the college-owned van when it was struck by another vehicle.

Kenna, who was first transported to a Louisville hospital, was later sent by air ambulance to University Medical Center in Jackson where he underwent successful surgery Friday night. He was admitted into a private room Saturday night and is expected to be discharged from the hospital by mid-week.

Whitlock and Williams were first sent to a Starkville hospital and later transported to UMC by land ambulance.

Tina Harris of Decatur was first sent to a Louisville hospital and released Friday night. However she received additional treatment at Rush Hospital in Meridian during the weekend.

Four other passengers, Joe Barrett, Chris Clark and Kimberly Mott, all of Decatur, and Joseph Knight of Union were treated and released at a Louisville hospital Friday night.

The staff members were returning from a meeting on the Mayhew campus of East Mississippi Community College.
