HUNTINGTON COUNTY, Ind. — With deep sorrow and heavy hearts, we remember and honor the life of Patricia A. Jackson, a beloved member of the Huntington community, who tragically lost her life in a motor vehicle crash on U.S. 24 on Monday morning. She was 58 years old.
According to the Huntington County Coroner’s Office, Patricia was driving her Jeep along U.S. 24 between Roanoke and Huntington during hazardous, slick road conditions. Investigators determined that she lost control of her vehicle, sliding across the median into the opposite lanes of traffic, where her Jeep collided with an oncoming semi tanker. The impact of the crash was severe.
Emergency responders arrived quickly, but despite their efforts, Patricia was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Huntington County Coroner later ruled her death an accident, and investigators stated that road conditions are believed to have played the primary role in the collision. The driver of the semi was not injured.
Beyond the tragic circumstances of her passing, Patricia A. Jackson will be remembered for the life she lived and the love she shared. She was a woman whose presence mattered — someone known for her strength, kindness, and the connections she built with family, friends, and the community around her. To those who knew her best, Patricia was more than a name in a report; she was a cherished soul whose absence will be deeply felt.
Her sudden passing serves as a heartbreaking reminder of how quickly life can change, especially during dangerous driving conditions. As the Huntington community mourns this loss, thoughts and prayers are being lifted for Patricia’s loved ones as they navigate this unimaginable grief.
May her family find comfort in the memories they shared, in the love that surrounds them, and in the knowledge that Patricia’s life left a lasting imprint on the hearts of many.
