"We ask that you pray for all the families involved in today's tragic events, as well as our BA Family. We are all hurting at the loss of two of our own. We also ask that you pray for those at the Bolivar County Sheriff's Office and the families involved," their school, Bayou Academy, shared.
From the report:
That crash happened just before 7 a.m. Tuesday on Yale Street in Cleveland, Mississippi, according to the Mississippi Highway Patrol (MHP).
The highway patrol said 29-year-old Brionna Brown, a Bolivar County deputy, was headed west down Yale Street when her truck collided with another truck that was being driven by a teenager from Cleveland headed in the opposite direction.
Two Bayou Academy students inside that vehicle, on their way to football practice, died at the scene, according to The Delta News. MHP said the crash also left Brown with serious injuries, but the deputy is expected to recover.
Our thoughts are with the friends and family members of everyone involved in the tragic accident.
May the two football players who were killed on their way to practice rest in peace.
