Sheriff's deputies respond to two serious crashes over weekend

Jasper County deputies responded to two major motor vehicle crashes over the weekend, one of which resulted in the death of the driver.

According to an accident report filed by Deputy Jeremy Dittmer, he was called to county blacktop F70 west of Monroe to respond to an accident in which three Marion County teens were involved. That portion of roadway is also known as Republic Avenue West, according to a sheriff's office spokeswoman.

The deputy's report stated Taylor J. Reed, 18, of Otley was driving a 2007 Honda Civic at a high rate of speed when he lost control, causing the vehicle to roll over three times before coming to rest in the ditch. Brandon L. Kuiper, 18, of Knoxville, a passenger in the vehicle, walked to a nearby house and called 911 at 4:42 a.m. to report the accident.
