2 teens killed in crash on U.S. 84

Published Sunday, January 24, 2010

NATCHEZ — Two Natchez teenagers died and another person was injured as a result of an early Saturday morning vehicle crash on U.S. 84.

Skyelah Christian Hinson, 19, 49 Duck Pond Road, and Mary Katy Barnes, 16, 160 Cardinal Drive, were driving from Old Highway 84 No. 2 near Fenwick and attempting to enter U.S. 84 when their car was broadsided by a vehicle traveling east at 1:39 a.m. Saturday.

The 2001 Cadillac driven by Yarmell S. Washington, 28, 18 Lincoln Heights Road, impacted the driver’s side of the Taurus Hinson was driving.

“They crossed the eastbound lane and appeared to be coming over to the westbound lane,” Mississippi Highway Patrol Sgt. Rusty Boyd said. “It appeared that they failed to yield to the Cadillac.

“(Washington) was wearing a seat belt and (Hinson and Barnes) were not,” Boyd said.

Adams County Coroner James Lee pronounced Hinson dead at the scene of the accident.

“This was a terrible accident,” Lee said. “It’s every parent’s nightmare.”

Barnes was transported to Natchez Regional Medical Center where she was then airlifted to University Medical Center in Jackson.

She died at approximately 9 a.m. Saturday at University Medical Center.

Washington was sent to Natchez Community Hospital and treated for moderate injuries and released.

Lee said as the driver of the vehicle, Hinson was set to undergo an autopsy on Saturday.

For family members and friends of Hinson and Barnes, the news of their loved ones’ deaths has yet to sink in.

“We’re in shock,” Hinson’s oldest brother Gregory Hinson said. “Our whole family has been through a lot in the last three years. We lost our dad May 8, 2007.”

Gregory Hinson said if there is one thing he wants people to remember most about his sister it is her capacity to love.

“She was not only beautiful on the outside, but she was beautiful on the inside, too. There wasn’t a person that she met that she didn’t love,” Hinson said.

Both young ladies’ families said Hinson and Barnes were joined at the hip from an early age.

“They’ve known each other since Katy was 5 and Skyelah was 7, and they’ve been best friends ever since,” Barnes’ mother Barbara Barnes said.

Both home-schooled students, Hinson and Barnes’ friendship was born from the close proximity in which the girls lived.

“(Our families) have always lived within a four-mile difference of each other for the last eight years,” Hinson’s first cousin Hunter Hinson said.

That proximity led to many adventures for Hinson and Barnes, family members said.

“They were the terror of the neighborhood,” Barbara Barnes said. “They were good kids. They didn’t do anything bad. They were just around everywhere.”

But unlike when they were children, Barbara Barnes said she didn’t know where the girls were on Saturday morning.

“We really didn’t even know they were out. They weren’t supposed to be,” she said. “I made her promise me before I dropped her off at Skyelah’s that they wouldn’t go anywhere.”

Friend of six years Nathan Aulridge, said while he wasn’t aware of the girls’ plans for Friday night and Saturday morning, Barnes and Hinson were set to meet with their group of friends Saturday night.

Aulridge said he and Hinson were as close as family and he considered Barnes to be his best friend.

“Everyone has that one person you can turn to no matter how bad the situation is, and Katy was mine,” Aulridge said.

“Once you got to know them, they were two of the two best people you could know,” Aulridge said. “No matter what you did, they were always there for you.”

Both families said they plan on meeting today to begin making funeral arrangements and offer support to one another.

My heart just breaks whenever I hear news that someone in the Natchez/Vidalia area has been killed or hurt, in any way. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and the whole region. May God keep us all safe and out of harm's way.

In the meantime, hug your kids, hug each other and say, "I love you" because we never know what will happen from one moment to the next.

The recent tragedy in Haiti and the recent tragedies local families have suffered involving car accidents are just examples that none of us is immune to pain and suffering -- keep a pure and humble heart.

Skyelah is my first cousin on my mother's side.. She was so beautiful and sweet. And our family has endured so much loss in recent years-- her father, My Uncle Richie, and our grandmother Grace.. As a mother, my heart goes out to my Aunt Celia--- because I can't imagine the pain I would feel at losing either one of my own sons.. And as her niece, my heart is doubly broken. Please pray for my family right now- no one is ever equipped to deal with these things..
I didn't know Katy, but the whole incident is a real tragedy. They were both too young to already be gone and will definitely be missed by many.

However, I am very much outraged at all you people who have asked "Well why are some teenagers out driving at one am?"
How dare you even question such an irrelevant thing fresh after the tragedy-- and perhaps EVER???!!!
How dare you even IMPLY that them getting T-BONED in their car and LOSING THEIR LIVES is payment for some POTENTIAL immaturity!?!?!?!
Your questions, sirs and madams, are FREAKING disrespectful and offensive.
And your declarations that imply that this may have been avoided if the parents had done something different or if the girls would have---- don't think for one second that my family isn't ALREADY reeling in the many ''what if's'' following a tragedy.. Your declarations are further cruelty. We need nothing but support right now.
And to all of you who have the gall to then argue freedom of speech, well to you I would just like to say that there is a time and place for speaking your negative opinions, but using that negativity to hurt people when they are already in pain and then CALLING it freedom of speech is disgusting and disingenuous.
You people should learn when to hold your tongue.

This story is so sad. I have prayed for the families and will continue to do so. I do not want to imagine losing any of my children. They are each different and one cannot replace another. I pray that the family is comforted in their time of sorrow. Jesus said He would not leave us comfortless. Just continue to pray. God be with you.

I came threw the wreck alittle while after it happened and I saw first hand what a tragedy it was. I have cryed and mourned for the families ever since. I can't help but to be so very hurt and sadden for these girls whos lives have been cut to short. As a mother I know its a parents worst fear and that is why I feel the pain like I do. For me it is almost to much to comprehend how things can change so quickly , in the blink of an eye everything changed. I am so sorry for these families and there loved ones as I type this tears flow down my face in grief for these girls , I can't even imagine their families grief , it is so very sad.

as I stated yesterday...

It is sad that some people are so ill minded to make statements that hurt when they don't have a clue about just how precious these two young ladies were and the facts of their very special relationship as friends.

Skyelah was the type of girl that once you had the pleasure of knowing her you knew without a doubt she was a gift from God. She was an absolute angel and I trusted her completely... so would any parent that knew her.

I remember Katy from her growing up in the neighborhood. She was always quite, sweet and polite. As someone has already mentioned Katy and Skyelah were joined at the hip from a very early age.

The fact that Katy was with Skyelah at whatever time of the night does not matter because Skyelah was by her side and her family trusted that. That's all that matters.

This was a tragic accident that could have happened to anyone at any time of the day.

I have known Skyelah since she was a very small child. I've known her whole family for at least 35 years. My daughter is married to her first cousin Hunter and Skyelah was also my son's girlfriend. She was a ray of shining light and the kind of girl you could never imagine in a million years something like this ever happening to. If you knew her then you know just how special she was.

Words can not describe the loss the world has without Skyelah & Katy. The only way to look at this is... God had other plans for these little angels. We can't dispute that.

We love you Skyelah, You will never be forgotten. You have made such a profound impression of goodness on so many people. I know you are safely with your dad now.

We will see the two of you again...

Justthefacts, are these deaths somehow funny to you or is sarcasm your middle name. With every tragic event that has happened in this town lately, you seen to delight in hurting grieving families. Do you have children? Do you know where they are every second of every day? You might think you do, but I doubt that's the case. These girls were not doing anything that teens haven't done for years. Don't throw stones...you might live in a glass house. kbarnes did not deserve your rudeness. Have you no shame?

May I make a suggestion? If you see someone make a bone-headed statement on these boards, why don't you send them a message directly and privately rather than respond publicly?

All it does is fan the flames. It's like pulling someone aside at a party and telling them to keep their meanness to themselves. Or you could shout it across the room and then EVERYBODY hears it.

When you respond publicly everyone seems to jump on the bandwagon and it only makes things worse.

We are planning Skyelah arrangements. At this point (and some things may change) but she will be at The First Pentecostal Chirch Hwy. 61N on Thursday Jan. 28. Time of the Wake may be 12:00 TO 1:00 Or mayby 2:00 unsure about the time at this point. Funeral to follow the wake at the church also. Thank you for the concern.

I travel to Jackson weekly to work at St Dominics. I usually refuel at the gas station where 84 intersects 61N. Two weeks ago I was paying for my gas and the cashier I believe was skyelah. I remember thinking what an unusual name. Even though I have only seen her in there a couple of times, when I heard of the tragedy , her name popped up in my mind. I have a son and daughter 26 and 23 and have always thought how horrible it must be to lose a child. I am burdened by this event and my heart goes out to the parents of these two much adored girls. If there is a message to any of this it is for all of us, young or old, that death is certain and the timeliness of it is uncertain. As a christian I believe these two are now with the One who created them--God. We should all be aware and ready to meet Him when our time comes. May God bless the Hinsons and Barnes during this time of loss and give them peace by the presence of His Holy Spirit.

Barbara, Larry, David, Celia, and Gregor
I am so very very sorry. My heart is breaking for your babies. I loved both of those girls very much and they were such special and good people. I remember them when both were just little girls and they were always playing at or around my house in Fenwick. My son was childhood friends with Gregor and my most outstanding memory is of how much Gregor loved his sister her entire life. He always knew exactly where she was and what she was doing and was always holding her by the hand. I remember Katy as a little girl always with a big happy smile and just as cheerful as a child could be. Both of those girls have always been well cared for and loved by everyone most especially by their parents. We all loved those children so much. They were both truly GOOD girls in every way. My heart is breaking for the families in this tragedy and if I can do anything please let me know.

Barbara, I too know the grief and shock you are now feeling. Jana has been gone for 5 years and it isn't any easier to not see her. Yes, be angry, you lost your child. Yes, scream and scream until you can't scream anymore. It's okay. Let all the emotion out, it hurts, it stinks, it's not fair. Then, one day, when you least expect it, the memories will become a daily blessing. Your time with her will remain. The questions may never be answered, but the memories will comfort you and your family. Just wanted to let you know, I DO know what you're going through. Love, Tee (P.S. Patty B gave me a book that helped soooo much, "How To Go On Living When Someone You Love Dies" by Dr. Therese Rando. It's a great book. I have long since passed it on to others who were hurting. I have noticed that some people have NOTHING better to do than slam others on this blog. "Honey, just flick 'em like an ole buggar."

I grew up with the Hinsons but didn't get the privilage of knowing Katie. I'm so sorry lil Gregory, Celia and Dakota. I'm still in shock. My heart hurts so much for all of you. I can't imagine losing a child and I don't want too. Skyelah was an angel here on earth and she is still an angel. She always stopped to say hi when she saw me and the same with Gregory. I've watched as her Uncles and then Dad all passed. Lil Gregory was named after his Uncle Greg whom I loved with all my heart. He ws like a brother and the pain was so intense that it was hard to breathe. Its the same with Skyelah now. My grandaughter is only 11 but she was heartbroken. She remembered when lil Gregory and Skyelah would play with her and the neighbors lil grandaughter. My grandson had taken a liking to Jimmy and for some reason Jimmy liked that lil boogar too. It took a long time for him to understand why Jimmy wasn't coming home. Celia and lil Gregory, if you need anything please let me know. Time does help ease the pain. Ritchie,Jimmy,Greg and her friends and family are holding her close now. I don't know if any words can really help ease your pain ...but we all care and will be here for you. My heart and my prayers go out to you and Katies family. And to the Washington family as well. God bless you! D Moore

I THINK THIS IS SO SAD.. BUT HOW MANY IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN. I THINK AS A COMMUNITY WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT INFORCE CURFEW FOR OUR TEENAGERS. ( ALL OF THEM ) NO TEENAGER NEED TO BE OUT AFTER TWELVE AM. WE AS A COMMUNITY CAN NOT POINT THE BLAME AT ANYONE BUT COME TOGETHER AS ONE AND BE THERE FOR OUR CHILDREN. THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO BE THAT PARENT THAT OUR KIDS DOESN'T LIKE SOMETIMES. MY HEART GOES OUT TO BOTH FAMLIES MAY GOD STRENGTHEN YOU IN YOUR TIME OF GRIEF.

you know, all my life i felt like an angel was looking out for me. i've almost drowned twice in my life and thanks to my brother my life was spared both times. what bothers me is that no one was there to save them, and i would've gladly given my life to save their's. something told me that i should look after that girl. that we should look after her. but i remember when i was that age or younger, i never liked to be told what to do. i just can't believe she's gone. god not her.
