slide2The San Andreas Unit of the California Highway Patrol is reporting a fatal accident involving a Jackson man. According to the CHP report the accident occurred when 24 year old Jared Allen of Sutter Creek was traveling through Mokelumne Hill on Hwy 49 in a 1989 Jeep. As Allen proceeded through town a car driven by 48 year old Julie Henderson of Moke Hill stopped to make a left hand turn off the roadway.  Allen, according to the CHP report, due to his level of intoxication, suddenly realized that  Henderson was stopped in front of him and attempted to steer around the rear of Henderson’s car, a 2000 Toyota Corolla. The maneuver was unsuccessful and the Jeep hit the rear of the Toyota causing the Jeep to run off of the west side of Hwy 49. Allen then overcorrected and the Jeep rolled ejecting the passenger, 23 year old Jeremy Brown of Jackson. Brown was declared dead at the scene. Allen was subsequently arrested for DUI and Vehicular Manslaughter.
