Name Released in Fatal I-20 Accident

Lauderdale County Coroner Stella McMahan has released the name of the 18-wheeler driver who died in an accident on Interstate 20 Wednesday, August 26. The driver has been identified as 67-year-old David Larry Jackson.

The accident occurred near the Welcome Center at Toomsuba when the 18-wheeler reportedly left the roadway and overturned in the median. Part of the truck’s load was thrown into the westbound lanes, temporarily blocking traffic and creating a hazard for motorists.

Authorities responded to the scene and worked to clear the roadway and investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.

The Scotty Ray Report extends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Jackson during this difficult time.
