More Info Released on Fatal Car Crash on HWY 278

May 29th, 2012 by

SalineRiverChronicle.com reports that Warren Police and the Bradley County Sheriff’s Department had been collaborating to solve a series of burglaries and thefts over a two week period. Some of the stolen items were recovered. The items had been sold. Law enforcement had gained information which caused them to develop a convicted felon from Monticello, as a suspect in the burglaries.

On May 16, at approximately 11:30 a.m., both Sheriff’s Department and the City Police learned that Keshawn Jamison was in  Warren, driving a 2002 Chrysler Sebring, and was leaving the area of the Sonic Drive-In with plans to drive to Monticello.

Three officials responded.  A deputy spotted the suspect pulling onto the highway and attempted to stop the vehicle. 

One officer managed to get his vehicle ahead of the other vehicles. It was reported that the suspect attempted to hit the car, but the officer veered and there was no contact. As the suspect weaved in and out of traffic forcing some vehicles from the road, a call was made to the Arkansas State Police, DCSO, and MPD.  As officers continued to follow the suspect from what they described as a safe distance. It was reported that Jamison’s vehicle traveled at a high rate of speed nearly 100 miles per hour.

According to the Arkansas State Police official report, as Jamison entered the City limits of Wilmar and had begun to negotiate the curve to his right, he lost control of the vehicle due to his high rate of speed. His vehicle began to rotate in clockwise as it slid over 225 feet before colliding with a concrete curb on the East side shoulder of HWY 278. The vehicle continued to travel another 100+ feet sideways, along the south ditch of the highway. The vehicle then re-entered the road and continued to spin clockwise. Jamison’s vehicle traveled over 150 feet into the westbound lanes of the highway before colliding with a vehicle being driven east by a Monticello woman. The front of the SUV struck the Sebring being driven by Jamison in the rear as it was spinning.

Both drivers, were transported to DMH by SEEMS, where Jamison was pronounced dead.

Found inside the vehicle were three televisions, one PSP, and a 9mm Smith & Wesson pistol.
