According to a Tennessee Highway Patrol report, the singer died after suffering a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 24 in Montgomery County at about 3:24 am. The vehicle soared off the roadway on the left shoulder and rolls down the embankment onto Dixie Bee Road. It collided with the road where it remained on its roof.
The singer died from the crash.
Jackson, known as "Larysa Jaye," was finally making an impact in the music industry, according to David Hawkins, her manager.
Hawkins said, "Over the past year we've had some of the most incredible highs to her career together, and it's been really a pleasure to watch. I am giving myself opportunities to grieve with the waves that come, but it's a really, really large loss for me personally and professionally."
