Henderson police said Jasper was driving south on Valle Verde Drive near Windmill Parkway about 9 p.m. when his vehicle left the road. It crossed over the sidewalk before crashing into the pole and wall.

Police said the truck then traveled across Valle Verde before striking a chain-link fence and coming to rest.
