Friends and family of Jason Jackson, aka Big Hus, are taking to social media to mourn and remember The Burgh Boyz member after a fatal car crash Saturday afternoon. Jackson was an online radio host, who talked about Pittsburgh's rap and hip-hop scenes.
While attempting to get Jackson's disabled car going again, Jackson and Landen Manning Jones, who pulled behind Jackson to assist, either fell or jumped from the Parkway East onto Second Avenue after a third vehicle hit the back of Jones' car. When Jackson and Jones fell on to Second Avenue, they were hit by another car. Both Jackson and Jones were killed in the incident.
