The man charged with reckless homicide for a 2019 crash that killed two people on Princeton Road appeared Friday morning in Christian District Court.
While the felony reckless homicide charge against 36-year old Robert Jackson of Hopkinsville came through a direct submission to the Christian County grand jury, Judge Foster Cotthoff explained he had pending speeding, failure to maintain insurance and marijuana possession charges in district court that are likely to be included in a new superseding indictment.
If that doesn’t happen, Jackson will be scheduled to appear for another hearing in district court on January 7.
As previously reported, 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 and Jackson was also injured in the collision.
