SB 2891 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Aggravated reckless driving; create crime of where accident results in bodily harm.

SB 2891 would create a new felony offense called "aggravated reckless driving" for drivers who cause accidents resulting in serious injury (such as loss of a limb, disfigurement, or brain damage). It increases penalties for simple reckless driving (fines up to $500 or 30 days in jail for first offense) and makes aggravated reckless driving punishable by 1-15 years in prison or a $10,000 fine. The bill applies directly to drivers convicted of reckless driving who cause specific types of bodily harm. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and has not become law.
