Jackson brother, sister die in motorcycle crash

A pair of Jackson siblings died early Thursday evening in a motorcycle crash on Greensferry Road in Jackson.

Tucker Jones, 19, and Krystal Jones, 16, died of "multiple systems" injuries, which includes severe trauma to the head, chest and extremities, said coroner Mike Hurst.

Tucker was driving a 2003 Suzuki motorcycle northbound on the road, with his sister as his passenger. Ahead of them, the driver of a Toyota truck, Justin Elfrink, 62, of Jackson, was attempting to make a left turn into a driveway when the motorcycle pulled out to pass him and struck his vehicle.

Tucker was flown to St. Francis Medical Center but was pronounced dead upon arrival, Hurst said. Krystal was pronounced dead at the scene and was taken to McCombs Funeral Home in Jackson.
