WLBT 3 - Jackson, MS: Alcohol Detected in Driver Who Caused McGowan Wreck
Member Center:
Toxicology tests reveal a Jackson man had been drinking before last week's wreck that killed a Clinton firefighter and his wife.
The wreck happened August 12 in Byram. A truck driven by Christopher Spell, 26, collided with a Volkswagen occupied by Eddie and Vickie McGowand and their two daughters. The girls survived, but their parents died in the wreck.
Spell was not seriously hurt. No word yet on what his blood alcohol level was. The legal limit is 0.08. So far, no charges have been filed.
The McGowans' daughters are now living with their grandparents. A trust fund has been set up for them at BankPlus. Anyone can donate there or at the Clinton Fire Department, where Eddie McGowan was a captain.
