The Jackson County Sheriff's Office reported Sunday that Christopher Alan Williams, 39, of Central Point, lost control of the Honda Accord he was driving as he rounded a curve, left the roadway and crossed a field before striking a tree. Dustin Everette Yax, 34, also of Central Point, was ejected from the vehicle, and died at the scene. Williams and a second passenger, Zachary Dennis Spencer, 34, of Eugene, were transported to Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center with serious injuries. The accident was reported shortly before 9 p.m. Sheriff's deputies, Jacksonville Police and Applegate Fire personnel responded to the 4000 block of Upper Applegate Road. Alcohol and excessive speed are believed to be factors in the crash, the sheriff's office reported. The Jackson County Multi Agency Serious Traffic Accident Reconstruction team and a deputy medical examiner from the Central Point Police Department assisted in the investigation. The case remains under investigation and an autopsy should take place next week.   MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jun. 28, 2015 @ 4:23 pm Updated Jun 28, 2015 at 9:24 PM » Comment or view comments   /* $( document ).ready(function() { // Jquery mobile is trying to style the button and leaving a blank gry button on top of a white button $("#viafouracoms .vf-comment-controls li.vf-right").html(' Submit '); });*/ »  STAY INFORMED   Email NewsLetter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. calendar Connect with MailTribune.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services Home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Announcements Obituaries Story ideas Since you asked Alerts Email Alerts RSS Feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Propel Marketing Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Mobile Site Stay Informed   Email newsletter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
