MADISON COUNTY, Tenn. -- New details have emerged about a tragic accident that claimed the life of a 29-yard-old father and his two children and left a woman seriously injured. It happened Saturday, when an ATV the victims were riding in collided with a car on Beech Bluff Road, east of Jackson, Tennessee. Tuesday traffic moved slowly on the road as drivers passed a small memorial to the victims of the deadly crash. Justin Nerren and his two sons, aged two and three, were all tragically killed. Nerren's 26-year-old girlfriend Jordan Kinman survived but is in very serious condition. The Tennessee Highway Patrol reported that neither Nerren nor Kinman were wearing seatbelts. The report does not indicate if the two children were secured. Bicyclist in critical condition after Midtown crash The driver of the car involved was also injured.
