Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of Shantwan Jackson. Shantwan was student at Houston High School in Germantown, TN and by all accounts of those who knew him, he was a fantastic kid. 
He was the passenger in an accident that occurred this morning on east Walnut Grove road, near Houston Levee, in the Cordova area of Memphis. According to police reports Mr. Jackson was a passenger in a 2000 Camaro that was driven by 17-year-old Tyler Anderson.
Apparently Mr. Anderson was passing other vehicles when he lost control of the Camaro, causing it to skid into opposing traffic and be struck by a Land Rover driven by 38-year-old Kimberly Smith.
Mr. Anderson is still in critical condition at The Med and Ms. Smith was transported to Baptist Hospital.
My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who was involved in this horrible car wreck this morning in Memphis.
And as a father of two children I deeply pray for the family of Mr. Jackson. I can not imagine the pain and loss they are going through at this very moment. The love parents have for their children is hard to explain, and impossible to put a value on. I’m sure the Jackson’s will never “get over” this loss, but I do hope that the future brings them peace.

Twan was like family to me! I grew up with him and his sister! He saved my life in a pool incident, and he couldn’t swim at the time! I’m so torn up too actually be readin how it happened! I’ma go see his mother and sibs, hopefully, later today! SHANTWAN CRAFORD-JACKSON, BAY MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU AND YOUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY ! YOU WILL SINCERELY BE MISSED! YOU WHERE ON YOUR WAY TO COLLEGE AND THEN SOME! I LOVE YOU AND I MEAN THAT!
