HEATHER RICHARDS MYER AUTO FATALITY

(01/28/2006)

Authorities have identified the victim of a Big Bend car accident as 26-year-old Heather Richards Myer. Myer was dead-on-scene after being thrown from the crash vehicle at 3 a.m. this morning. The accident happened just east of Big Bend on Rt. 5. County coroner Ed Messenger has sent the body to the State Medical Examiner's office. Justin Boatright of Big Springs, who officials indicated was the driver of the auto, was taken to Charleston General Hospital by HealthNet, where a hospital spokesperson said he is in intensive care, still under evaluation. The Boatright car, traveling east on State Route 5, apparently went out of control, rolled-over several times, went airborne, clipping a telephone pole and an electric pole. The vehicle went over an embankment landing in the driveway of the Jesse Jackson residence. Drew Jones, about 17, of Big Springs, who was in the vehicle, declined medical treatment, apparently not suffering serious injuries. Stump Funeral Home in Grantsville will be in charge of funeral arrangements.
