September 19, 2023 – The investigation into Tuesday morning’s death of Jason Andrew Norfleet, 40, shows that he died as a result of crashing his pick-up at the intersection of East Thompson Lane and Lawndale Drive, not from an act of foul play.
Norfleet was driving a 1995 GMC pickup truck at a high rate of speed on Thompson Lane at 1:28 a.m. when the rear passenger side struck a concrete barrier as it negotiated a bend in the road. The truck hit the barrier several more times until it came to rest in the intersection.
Norfleet died at the scene. Responding medics noticed injuries to Norfleet’s body that concerned them, however those injuries were subsequently determined to have been older from some previous occurrence. The Medical Examiner at autopsy found no gunshot wounds and determined that Norfleet’s injuries were consistent with a vehicle crash.
The police department’s Fatal Crash Team is now leading this investigation.
