A young child died at the scene and the child’s mother later died in a hospital following a late Saturday morning single vehicle crash in far northwest Jasper County. It happened at about 9:30 on Recreational Road 255, near County Road 030.
Witnesses said Deputy Kevin Holloway and the members of the Angelina River Fire Department & First Responders went above and beyond in performing CPR and other steps in an attempt to save the young girl. However, despite their efforts, 4 year old Jasmine Lee Moya was pronounced dead at the scene by Jasper County Precinct 5 Justice of the Peace Brett Holloway.
Texas Department of Public Safety Sergeant Shana Clark said 22-year-old Abigail Lee, of Jasper, was driving a 2006 Hyundai passenger car eastbound at an unsafe speed while attempting to negotiate a curve when the car traveled off the road to the right and struck multiple trees.
