Icy roads appear to have contributed to a fatal I-70 accident Saturday in Clay County.

just after 2:00 pm, troopers from the Indiana State Police Putnamville Post responded to a single vehicle crash on Interstate 70 westbound near the twenty-four-mile marker that claimed three lives.  

The preliminary crash investigation revealed that Glen A. Jackson, 58, of New Madrid, Missouri, was driving a 2004 Buick on Interstate 70 westbound near the 24-mile marker.  Due to icy road conditions, Jackson lost control of the vehicle traveling off of Interstate 70 to the north side.  The vehicle rolled several times before striking a tree. 

Emergency personnel attempted life-saving measures on the occupants, but three individuals unfortunately succumbed to their injuries at the scene.  

Deceased is Glen A. Jackson, 58, Rose M. Jackson, 57, and Amber Johnson, 35, all from New Madrid, Missouri. 

One juvenile was transported to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Drugs and alcohol are not believed to be a contributing factor of the accident.
