Description
In surveillance video from Saturday night, you can see the light turning from yellow to red at a stoplight near the Walmart store in the 5600 block of Michigan Road, near near Kessler Boulevard West Drive on the northwest side of Indianapolis.
As the light turns, that's when 23-year-old Kasen Jackson and the truck collide around 8:15 p.m. Sept. 21.
Jackson, who was driving a motorcycle, later died at the hospital.
"We'll never have the chance to be grandparents. We'll never get to see him ... I mean, it took so much more away than just our kid. He had so much potential ahead of him," said Jackson's father, Anthony.
The Jacksons said their son graduated from Ball State and was the greatest kid ever.
According to court documents, the driver of the truck, Kevin Matheus, of Indianapolis, never had a license. Matheus not only faces a charge for that, but for also failing to remain at the scene of an accident resulting in death and obstruction of justice.
IMPD said Matheus turned himself in Tuesday, Sept. 24.
