VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) — An Alcorn State University associate professor riding his motorcycle over the weekend was killed by a teenage driver, according to authorities.
The Vicksburg Post reports Dr. Noland Boyd was apparently struck from behind by a car driven by 17-year-old Kevin Williams Jr., also of Vicksburg. The accident happened about 12:30 a.m. Sunday on U.S. 61 South.
