A deadly two-vehicle crash at the entry point of Red Bank Village has left one motorcyclist dead, marking the latest fatal traffic incident to shake the local community. The victim, 59-year-old Nerry Campbell, a Guatemalan laborer, lost his battle with injuries just hours after the collision that unfolded on the morning of Saturday, September 5, 2026.
According to official details from law enforcement, the crash occurred at approximately 10:45 a.m. along the Thomas Vincent Ramos Highway. Campbell was operating a Meilun brand motorcycle when he attempted to turn from the main highway onto an unmarked side road leading into Red Bank Village. During the turn, his motorcycle collided head-on with a pickup truck driven by 30-year-old Deidra Jackson.
Emergency medical response teams were dispatched to the scene immediately after the crash was reported. First responders stabilized Campbell and rushed him to the nearby Southern Regional Hospital for urgent care. Despite the medical team’s best efforts to address his multiple serious injuries, Campbell succumbed to his trauma during surgery at around 1:00 p.m. the same day.
As law enforcement investigators continue to piece together the full circumstances of the collision, police have taken a key procedural step: they have served Jackson with a formal Notice of Intended Prosecution. Assistant Superintendent Stacy Smith, a staff officer with the local police force, confirmed the details of the ongoing investigation in an official statement.
“Police have issued a notice of intended prosecution in connection with a traffic accident which resulted in the death of fifty-nine-year-old Nerry Campbell of Red Bank Village,” Smith stated. “What the investigation has so far suggested is that at around ten forty-five a.m. on Saturday, fifth September, Campbell was traveling on a Meilun brand motorcycle, and when he turned onto an unnamed road in Red Bank Village, a collision occurred between the motorcycle and a pickup truck being driven by the female who was the subject of the notice of intended prosecution. Mr. Campbell received injuries, and he was transported for medical attention. However, he succumbed whilst undergoing treatment at around one o’clock p.m.”
Investigators have also noted one key preliminary detail about Campbell’s vehicle: the motorcycle he was operating did not have a valid license plate at the time of the crash. It remains unclear whether this missing registration played any role in causing the collision, and that question will be a core focus as the inquiry moves forward.
