This morning at approximately 6:00 a.m. a single-vehicle crash occurred on I-79 South just before the Clendenin exit. A pickup truck left the roadway to the left into the median, traveled approximately 100 feet, then reentered the road, crossed both southbound lanes, and struck the guardrail on the right side of the roadway before overturning.
The driver and passenger were able to remove themselves from the vehicle prior to the arrival of first responders. The passenger sustained serious injuries. The driver was also injured. No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation. Both occupants were taken to area hospitals for treatment to their injuries. Their names and additional information may be released later today.
