A 15-year-old Warren County boy was in critical, but stable, condition at University Medical Center in Jackson Sunday afternoon, after police said he was thrown from a motorcycle Saturday evening as a passenger in a single vehicle wreck near Bovina.

The driver of the motorcycle was jailed for DUI, as well as fleeing the crash scene and abandoning the boy, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.

Keandrea Jackson, 9710 Freetown Road, was not wearing a helmet and suffered head injuries in the wreck, Pace said. He was the lone passenger on a 2009 Kawasaki sport bike driven by 20-year-old Harry Keonta Ramsey, 117 Walton Lane, whose blood alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit when he laid the bike on its side while trying to take a right onto Bovina Drive from Warriors Trail around 8:15 p.m. Saturday, Pace said.

“He was just going too fast when he tried to take the turn, and it slid under him, ejecting both he and his passenger from the bike,” Pace said.

Ramsey was wearing a helmet and was uninjured in the wreck.

Following the wreck, Pace said Ramsey had a neighbor hide the wrecked motorcycle behind a nearby mobile home while Ramsey walked away from the scene toward his home.

“All of this is going on while this young, 15-year-old victim was struggling for his life in the middle of the road,” Pace said.

A witness to the accident waited with Jackson while first responders made their way to the scene. Jackson was taken to River Region Medical Center, and immediately airlifted to UMC, Pace said.

About 30 minutes after the wreck, Pace said he arrested Ramsey, who had walked about a mile away from the scene and was heading west on Tiffentown Road. He remained in the Warren County Jail Sunday afternoon without bond, charged with aggravated DUI and felony leaving the scene of an accident.

“When we administered a Breathalyzer test, he had almost twice as much alcohol in his system than the 0.08 percent (blood alcohol content) legal limit,” said Pace. “He was walking home.”

Another 45 minutes after Ramsey was apprehended, Pace said deputies discovered his sport bike, helmet and jacket hidden behind a Warriors Trail mobile home. Pace said deputies suspect Ramsey’s neighbor, 19-year-old Andrew Jones, 191 Walton Lane, hid the items for Ramsey after the wreck. Jones was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice, and also remained in the Warren County Jail without bond as of Sunday afternoon.

Pace said he did not know the relationship between Ramsey and Jackson, where they were coming from on Saturday evening or where they were heading on the sport bike.

“(Ramsey) had apparently just picked (Jackson) up,” he said. “There may be more arrests. That portion of the investigation is still very much ongoing.”
