LYNN HAVEN, Fla. — The community of Lynn Haven is in mourning after a devastating car accident claimed the life of Asiah Jackson, a young woman remembered for her vibrant spirit and kind heart. The tragic crash occurred on Saturday, October 12, 2025, around 1:30 p.m., along Highway 77 North near Walmart. Authorities reported that the vehicle involved overturned, leaving behind a harrowing scene that halted traffic and drew an outpouring of grief from those who knew her.
Emergency responders rushed to the scene following multiple 911 calls reporting the crash. Upon arrival, they discovered a heavily damaged vehicle resting on its side. Despite efforts from paramedics and first responders, Asiah could not be revived and was pronounced dead at the scene. Law enforcement officers immediately secured the area as crews worked to clear debris and direct traffic, urging drivers to remain patient amid significant delays along the busy highway.
Investigators with the Lynn Haven Police Department and Bay County Sheriff’s Office are working to determine what caused the vehicle to overturn. Preliminary findings suggest that speed, road conditions, or a potential mechanical failure may have contributed, though officials have not yet made a final determination. The crash remains under active investigation, and authorities have not released details regarding whether other vehicles were involved.
Witnesses described the scene as “heartbreaking,” with several bystanders stopping to pray and offer comfort as emergency personnel worked. One witness told reporters that the crash “happened so fast” and that it left everyone nearby in shock. The aftermath was so severe that portions of Highway 77 remained partially closed for several hours as investigators reconstructed the incident and tow crews removed the wreckage.
Asiah’s passing has left a deep void in the hearts of her family, friends, and community members. Tributes have flooded social media, where loved ones describe her as “a beautiful soul gone too soon,” “a ray of light,” and “someone who brought joy to everyone she met.” A candlelight vigil is reportedly being planned near the crash site to honor her memory and support her grieving family during this unimaginably difficult time.
Authorities are urging anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has dashcam footage from the area to contact the Lynn Haven Police Department. The community continues to come together in sorrow and remembrance, holding tightly to Asiah’s memory and the light she brought to those who knew and loved her.
