Vehicle strikes duplex garage in Jackson

A vehicle driven by a Jackson woman crashed into the garage doors of a brick duplex in Jackson early Saturday, frightening tenants but causing no injuries.

Jackson police said the accident occurred at 8:14 a.m. Police didn't name the driver and said the accident report wouldn't be completed for three to five days. As of Saturday night, the driver hadn't been charged in connection with the accident, which damaged the duplex at 539 and 543 Broadridge Drive.

The garages are in the middle of the duplex. "It did quite a bit of damage," said Maretta Lowes of Jackson. She and her husband, Harold, built and own the duplex.

Maretta Lowes said the tenants initially thought it was an earthquake. "Thankfully, nobody got injured," she said.

The driver suffered only a few scratches, said Maretta Lowes, who visited the accident scene to inspect the damage to the building. "She was just shook up."
