A Perry County man who worked as an embalmer for local funeral homes was killed when he crashed his pickup into the back of an 18-wheeler in the Calhoun Community early Wednesday evening.
James Eric Rankin, 45, of Richton was pronounced dead at the scene after his eastbound Toyota Tacoma rear-ended a rig that was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Highway 84 West and Highway 28 just after 6:15 p.m., according to a preliminary report from the Mississippi Highway Patrol, which is investigating the crash.
