20 Year Old Pedestrian Killed in Accident
July 26th, 2016 by
A 20 year old Drew County man died from injuries he sustained when he was struck by vehicle on Highway 138 East, Monday morning.
Zack Jones and a co-worker were going to work on Winchester Road, near the old Pine Hill area, around 5:40, when a toolbox fell out of their truck.
They turned around, parked in middle of the road ( with lights on), and began to pick up the tools. As Jones was near the shoulder picking up tools, and approaching westbound vehicle, in an attempt to avoid the pick up truck, moved over to the shoulder, striking the victim.
Jones was pronounced dead at the scene by the Drew County coroner.
The accident is being investigated by the Drew County sheriffs department and the Arkansas State Police.
How tragic. Prayers for friends and family?
I was on my way to work when I ran upon the seen. I remember feeling overwhelmed with grief because I sw him lying there. My heart was full of compassion for the family. I remember thinking I see him there before his family could get there, it made Me very sad all day. I have to travel that road daily, that image is still with Me. I didn’t know Him but He will always be on My mind and in My heart every time I travel that road. My prayers is with His family.
