Man Killed During Ham & Turkey Delivery in Herberts Laid to Rest
Shawn Jones, a 39-year-old resident of Greenbay, was laid to rest on Monday following a fatal accident that occurred while he was delivering Christmas hams and turkeys on December 19th last year.
Surrounded by family, including his common-law wife, Tanessa David, and their five sons, loved ones gathered to pay their final respects to a man cherished by many.
The tragedy unfolded in Herberts when Jones lost control of the truck he was driving. Witnesses reported that the vehicle began to skid, leading to a loss of control that resulted in the truck flipping over and tragically pinning Jones underneath.
First responders from St John’s Fire Station arrived promptly and employed the Jaws of Life in a desperate attempt to free Jones.
Despite their efforts, he sustained critical injuries to his chest and head. Sadly, he was pronounced dead approximately an hour and a half after the accident.
