Drew Central Junior Killed in Crash

December 16th, 2009 by Joe Burgess

Jesse Cash, age 16, of the Florence Road community, was killed in an automobile accident around 7:55 pm, Monday night.  Cash was a junior at Drew Central High School.

The wreck occurred .2 of a mile north of the Ashley-Drew County line, on HWY 425 South.

According to preliminary reports, Cash’s 1990 Nissan pick-up was traveling north, and crossed the center line, into the path of a loaded chip truck, which was traveling south.

The front of the big rig traveled a distance from the scene of the impact, and caught fire, in part from the diesel spill.

Monticello Fire and Rescue responded, as did Lacey-Ladelle Fire Dept., and Ft. Hill Fire Dept.

Arkansas State Troopers worked the scene, assisted by Drew County Sheriff’s deputies.

Cash was pronounced dead at the scene by the deputy Drew County Coroner.

The driver of the chip truck, also a Drew County resident, was not injured.

  5. Megan Ellis says:

    I moved to Drew Central this year, and the first person I met was Jesse. He was always the one to make me smile when I felt like crying. School isn’t going to be the same without him around. I don’t really know how to move on when he was always the one to lead me the way.
    Cash Family, feel free to call me, Jesse’s aunt has my number.

    Love Always,
    Megan Ellis

    When such a tragic event like this happens, the automatic response is to question God. Why would he take such a promising young man? Why would he make friends and loved ones go through pain this close to Christmas? Why?
    Although we will never know the answers to these questions while we are here on earth, Jesse knows them. But he is in a place where there is no sorrow or pain. He is rejoicing with the lord and waiting on all his friends and loved ones to join him.

    The Cash Family has been in my thoughts and prayers these past days. As Im sure they have been in everyones. Jesse was the type of person that you knew, no matter who you were. He was always there with a smile or a kind word. This town was honored to be graced by his presence, and will morn his lose.

    Jesse, know that your classmates, teachers, parents, and friends all miss you greatly, but we look forward to the day we join you in paradise. You will never be forgotten my friend.

    I am Jesse’s sister. I want to thank every one for your prayers and comfort durring this time. My family and I are dealing the best we can. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. The LORD has a plan for everyone. We may not know why he has choosen to take Jesse back home, We do have our memories and our pictures for comfort. We will see him again, when we are blessed to go home. Jesse was loved by so many people, he was blessed by so many friends. He had a way to make you smile no matter what your mood was. He was extremly helpful. I want to thank everyone for your comments. It really gives us comfort. To the other man in the accident: I would like you to know that we, my family and I, are not blaming you. We are soo sorry that this happened to you. I am glad you were not hurt in this accident. Our heart breaks for you. We can not imagine the pain and sorrow you are going through. The lord called jesse home that night. I am deeply sorry that you just so happened to be there at the same time. Once again I would like you to know that we know this was an accident and we are deeply sorry for you. Thanks to every one for your comments. Please dont take any thing for granted and live like to its fullest. Please dont let this pull you away from GOD but may it bring you closer.
