Jasper,TX : Two dead after vehicle crashes into Jasper business on June, Monday 12th 2017
Two employees died Monday morning when a man crashed through Abel's Auto Detailing in Jasper and struck them.
Oscar Rivera, 26, and Louis Castro, 29, were detailing a car at 2109 South Wheeler when 61-year-old Joe Clifton Dickerson drove off U.S. 69, rammed the front of the building and kept going through the business, according to Jasper police.
After a preliminary investigation, officials said Dickerson was traveling north on U.S. 69 at an "unknown speed." Investigators don't know why Dickerson veered off the road.
He was taken to Jasper County Airport, where he was later airlifted to a hospital in Tyler. He was reported in stable condition later Monday.
Castro and Rivera were pronounced dead at the scene by Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace Brett Holloway.
