The fatal accident that took the 34-year-old Clarksdale, Mississippi man’s life happened just this last week on Sunday morning, August 31. According to local news reports, Edward M. Triplett was riding his motorcycle when a 22-year-old Alligator, Mississippi man collided with him in a 2018 Dodge Charger. The unexpected and fatal accident occurred at around 5:00 a.m. in the morning on U.S. Highway 61 near Duncan, in Bolivar County, Mississippi. Reports indicate that when first responders responded to the scene, Triplett was taken to the hospital for emergency medical treatment, but he, sadly, passed away there due to his injuries. The driver of the 2018 Charger did not receive any injuries, according to reports. The unfortunate accident is now under investigation by the Mississippi Highway Patrol, pending any further action in the case.
