First of all the Jones family needs to be able to greive and how can that be done if there r hunderds of rumors going around? The comment below talking about Ryan having his seatbelt on, how do you know he didnt, were you at the scene at the time of accident? As far as the drinking how the hell do you know they were drinking as far as the paper states there wasnt any alcohol on the scene. Jones family you are in our thoughts and prayers.

RIP Buddy

Poor Ryan he was such a nice person, there is something VERY fishy about this whole situation, and NO ONE can deny it, I don't care if they were drinking, how did those boys get away without a scratch?! and NO one should have been called to the scene except for EMT's/Police ....very odd!, I just hope that Ryan didn't suffer, but by the way the timing was I think he probably did.....

Are you serious?

Rumors and lies seems to be what all these comments and articles are about. Those of you saying it was murder are ignorant. Alcohol was involved in the accident and both parties had been drinking. Had Mr. Jones been wearing his seatbelt, he would more than likely be with us today. Once the ISP concludes their investigation, the will be known as to what happened and who had been driving. My sympathy goes out to the Jones Family.

You can't believe what are sheriff says because
he tried to cover it up and lied to me. Only when he knew that i called state police for help is when he came back and told me he knew Robertson was there and boyd was driving and ryan jones was not. If it was the case that it was just an accident so be it. But the fact he tried to cover it up is disturbing.

Confused

I thought the whole point of the news was to post truthful things, not lies, like everyone else has been spreading to cover this horrible accident up. I'm pretty sure everyone know Ryan Jones was NOT driving that truck!!!! Hopefully the truth will be released and they will pay for their actions.
