May 1, 2025 – Mississippi Highway Patrol (MHP) troopers responded to a semi-trailer truck rollover early Thursday morning that blocked traffic but fortunately resulted in no injuries.  

MHP Thursday evening reported that the accident took place about 5:45 a.m. on I-22 westbound near the Bethel Road exit in Olive Branch.  

A 2014 Freightliner driven by 28-year-old Brandon Harris from Macon, Georgia, was traveling westbound on I-22 when it left the roadway and struck a cable barrier.

Harris did not sustain any injuries from the crash and was released at the scene, however the roadway was blocked during morning rush as the truck was removed from the roadway.  

The Mississippi Highway Patrol is still investigating this incident.
