BALDWYN, MISS. — A disturbing incident unfolded Tuesday near the Hwy 45 North exit in Baldwyn when a young woman either jumped or fell from a moving white extended cab pickup truck. Witnesses say passing drivers swerved to avoid hitting her and immediately called 911.
Moments later, the truck reportedly reversed to the scene, and a man with a full sleeve tattoo on his right arm jumped out, grabbed the unconscious girl, tossed her back into the vehicle, and sped off. The truck is described as an older white extended cab pickup with a possible Prentiss County tag starting with “PW6.”
Anyone who may recognize the vehicle or have information about the driver or the girl’s wellbeing is asked to come forward. The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, and witnesses are concerned for the girl’s safety.
