Robert Jackson, the man charged in connection to the 2019 fatal crashed that killed 32-year-old Misty Quarles and 11-year-old Alexia Trump, entered a guilty plea in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday.
Jackson pled guilty to reckless homicide and three counts of wanton endangerment, which Circuit Judge Andrew Self says comes with a recommended sentence of five years in total.
He also pled guilty to several traffic violations, and Judge Self says the Commonwealth gave no recommendation on probation, leaving it up to the court to decide.
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 Quarles. Quarles and Trump, who was a passenger, would die of their injuries, while two other passengers were taken to Vanderbilt for treatment.
Jackson himself was injured in the crash.
Judge Self released him from his ankle monitor Wednesday, and set final sentencing for December 28.
