Funeral services have now been set for one of four people who died in a fiery early Monday morning crash near the Erin Community.
19-year-old Kristen Crosson was identified by family members as one of the victims, and funeral services will be held on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. at Stringer & Griffin Funeral Home in Jasper. According to her obituary, she was a native of Jasper and had most recently been a resident of Vernon Parish, Louisiana.
Meanwhile, Precinct 3 Justice of the Peace Mike Smith, who performed the inquest following the crash, said Wednesday that neither Crosson, nor the other three victims have been officially identified yet. Judge Smith said that DNA testing was performed at autopsy on the four victims, and he expects that it will take at least two weeks before the DNA test results come back.
The accident occurred shortly before 1:00 Monday morning on Farm to Market Road 252, about a mile north of the intersection of FM-1005. Clark said the car was traveling at a high rate of speed around a curve when it went off the highway, crashed head-on into a tree, and caught on fire.
