A man driving south on U.S. 11 was killed after he hit a utility pole. The victim was 24-years-old. The accident was in Pikeside, West Virginia around 2 a.m.

A woman who was riding with Jackson in the 1992 Dodge Caravan left the scene and was found at a house, Kearns said. The passenger is not being identified because her age and address were not available Sunday.

The woman was hurt, but her injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, Kearns said.

Kearns said the woman gave a statement to police in which she said she did not recall the crash. The woman struck her head on part of the car during the crash, Kearns said.

Police are still investigating the accident. They believe that alcohol was responsible for the accident. If you have any information, please contact the Police.
