Alabama standout football player was killed by a drunk driver
A 38-year-old female was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide on two counts after he injured three people killing two of them near the Alabama/Georgia State line.
According to reports, Reco Jermaine English, 18, was one of two people killed in a three-vehicle traffic crash caused by a drunk driver on Saturday.
English was a passenger in a 2020 Nissan Altima driven by 31-year-old Ashley Jackson of Birmingham, that was struck when the alleged drunk driver crossed the center line of Halls Valley Road, struck an 18-wheeler that then crossed the line and hit the Altima. Jackson was also killed in the crash that happened around 7:50 a.m., Alabama time.
English was a standout defensive lineman who was making the transition to play running back this year for Pinson Valley High School. He was a beast on the football field, and a loved person off the field.
We are please asking for prayers for the English family and his teammates.
