Faculty Death

An Education professor at Lynchburg University died of cancer today.

58-year-old Elizabeth Billson had taught for 36 years. Unfortunately she lost her ten year fight with cancer today.

Billson was accomplished and was awarded the “Outstanding Professor” award just last year.

She taught nearly 10,000 future teachers during her time at the university.

Wreck

A traffic jam occurred on I-59 last night due to a collision between two trucks.

The collision happened on a section of I-59 where repairs were being done. The trucks hit head-on in narrow pointed lanes and caused a 45 minute road block.

Fortunately the drivers are unhurt, but the damages of the one refrigerated truck estimate at 10,000 dollars worth of goods.

Both drivers were charged with speeding and reckless driving.
