Jackson was indicted on two counts of reckless homicide, three counts of wanton endangerment and three misdemeanor and violation charges including speeding 16 mph or over, failure of non-owner to maintain required insurance and possession of marijuana.
The charges are in connection to a fatal crash that occurred on Princeton Road about a mile north of Sinking Fork Baptist Church in 2019, two days before Christmas. Christian County Sheriff’s deputies said Jackson crossed the center line and hit a truck driven by 32-year old Misty Quarles of Cerulean. Her daughter, 11-year old Alexia Trump, a 6th grader at Sinking Fork Elementary School, died from her injuries within a day of the crash. Quarles died from her injuries the following May after a lengthy hospital stay. Two other people in Quarles’ vehicle were injured in the crash.
