FAYETTE COUNTY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A Kanawha County woman died following a motor vehicle accident in Boomer on US Route 60. Chief Deputy Rod Perdue II released the following information concerning this accident.
Just after midnight on January 15, 2023, deputies received notification of a motor vehicle accident involving four different vehicles. When deputies arrived, they did find a car on its top in a yard with a female driver ejected. The other three cars were located beside the roadway with extensive damage. Two vehicles were parked and had no occupants; the other driven vehicle had minor damage.
The female who was ejected unfortunately succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene; the other driver received no injuries. The identity is being withheld until deputies complete their investigation.
Through witness statements, it appears the vehicle was traveling west on US Rt 60 at a high rate of speed when it veered off the roadway, striking a parked car, which launched the vehicle into the air, causing it to flip and land on its top. At this time, it is unknown if alcohol was a contributing factor. US Rt 60 was closed for approximately four hours but is now back open.
This accident remains under investigation by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department.
Assisting in the incident were the Boomer Fire Department and Jan Care Ambulance.
