Eddy Grant Jackson, 55 of Addison, was killed when his truck and trailer jack-knifed west bound on Highway 278 between Double Springs and Natural Bridge. The livestock trailer was empty and the highway was wet at the time of the accident. Lynn firemen and Double Springs Rescue Squad members were called to the scene. An Alabama State Troopers investigated the accident with only one vehicle involved. The truck apparently left the highway and struck several large pines trees on the south side of the highway. Winston County Coroner Larry Gilliland pronounced Jackson dead at the scene. |
