Tallulah man dies after being struck by car

A Tallulah man died Monday night after being struck by a car, authorities said. The man was identified 
as Jackie Eakes, 47, 119 Oak St., Tallulah, according to a spokesman for the Tallulah Police Department.

According to witnesses, Eakes apparently walked into the path of a car driven by a 15-year-old Tallulah 
girl, the spokesman said. He said Eakes was thrown about 40-45 feet off Bayou Drive, in front of Tallulah 
High School.

The spokesman said Eakes was found about halfway down the hill to the bayou. He was taken to Madison 
Parish Hospital but was later transferred to University Medical Center in Jackson, Miss., where he died, 
a hospital spokesman said.

The police spokesman said the incident was accidental and said no charges were filed.
