Other Driver
Mrs. Ona Bush of Richton, 66-year-old widow of E.E. Bush Sr, died at 1:55 a.m. today at Jones County Community Hospital in Laurel of injuries suffered Friday afternoon in a collision at Ellisville.
Jones County Deputy Sheriff George Ellzey said manslaughter charges were filed today against Billy Ray Herring, 19, of Ellisville, driver of the other car involved in the accident.
Mrs. Bush was riding in an auto driven by her daughter, Mrs. Sally A. Collum, 30, of Richton. Mrs. Collum and her two-year-old daughter, Leigh, were injured in the crash but were released from Jones County Hospital after treatment for cuts and bruises.
Mrs. Bush, Mrs. Collum and baby had gone to Ellisville to visit other members of the family. Mrs. Bush has two sons there; Troy is coach at Jones County AHS, and Thurman.
Deputy Ellzey gave this account of the accident, which occurred about 2 p.m.
Mrs. Collum was driving south on the road from downtown Ellisville to Jones Junior College and was making a left turn at an intersection where there are four-way stop signs.
Herring was headed north on the same street. Ellzey said he skidded about 80 feet through the stop sign and crashed into the right-hand side of the Collum car near where Mrs. Bush was sitting.
Services for Mrs. Bush will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday at Richton Baptist Church, with Rev. W.M. Averette, pastor, officiating. Burial will be in Mt. Vernon Cemetery in Jones County. The body will remain at Jones Funeral Home in Richton until service time.
