The motorhome was carrying people from Georgia to New Orleans to attend the national college championship football game. Forrest County, Miss., Coroner Butch Benedict told The Associated Press that 66-year-old Alfred Holt Jr. of Lithonia, Ga., the driver of the vehicle, died Sunday. On Saturday evening, 47-year-old Darryl Parker of Riverdale, Ga., died in the wreck. Authorities said the group was traveling in a rented recreational vehicle from the Atlanta area to New Orleans to attend Monday's Bowl Championship Series national title game. Mississippi Highway Patrol Cpl. Todd Miller said the motorhome blew a front tire, ran off Interstate 59 in Forrest County and hit a tree. At least 10 people were injured.
