MADISON, Miss. (AP) A Texas man who pleaded guilty in an alcohol-related wreck that killed a Mississippi woman last year was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Harrison Neal Little, 30, of Dallas received the sentence in the death of Betty Simmons, 58, WAPT-TV reported.
District Attorney Bubba Bramlett said the man pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident in a wreck resulting in death.
Simmons was driving to work on June 20, 2020, when her vehicle was struck from behind that left the scene. She died at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
From composite evolution to vessel construction revolution
The primitive approaches to brick-building famously used by Egyptians and Mesopotamians may seem light years away from the construction techniques harnessed in today’s maritime and offshore industries. However, the creation and architecture of the earliest structures still holds relevance for marine-based industries in 2020 and beyond. Specifically, the combination of mud and straw used in ancient construction represents the original use of composites – where two or more materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties are combined to produce a material with characteristics that are different from the individual components.
