A resolution may be possible in the reckless homicide case against Robert Jackson, the man accused in a December 2019 fatal accident that killed two people.
Jackson appeared alongside defense attorney Olivia Adams in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday afternoon, who informed the court they are considering another offer from the Commonwealth, and need more time to go over it before making a decision.
Judge Andrew Self granted the request and set a pretrial hearing for October 26.
As previously reported, Jackson was traveling south on Princeton Road about three and a half miles north of the Eagle Way 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.
