A Christian County Grand Jury indictment warrant for two counts of reckless homicide and wanton endangerment was served Sunday against a Hopkinsville man who caused a 2019 motor vehicle accident that killed two people.
Hopkinsville police served the indictment at a Camilla Drive location against 36-year-old Robert Jackson of Hopkinsville.
Jackson was traveling south on Princeton Road about three and a half miles north of the Bypass in Christian County on December 23, 2019 when he crossed the center line and collided head-on with a vehicle driven by 32-year-old Misty Quarles of Cerulean. Quarles’ pickup then went over a bridge and onto a creek bed.
Quarles and a passenger, 11-year-old Alexia Trump, died from their injuries.
Two other passengers, 34-year-old Marcus Quarles and a juvenile, were seriously injured and flown to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Jackson was also injured and was taken to an area hospital.
The indictment says Jackson was operating his vehicle in “in a reckless manner” and with “extreme indifference to the value of human life.”
He was lodged in the Christian County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
The Christian County Sheriff’s Office investigated the crash.
