JEEP NEARLY LANDS IN WEST FORK - Williams Taken To Hospital

(07/10/2003)

A Jeep went out of control on Rt. 16 south of the Brannon Straight Wednesday evening, injuring the driver. James Williams, about 17, of Big Bend was taken to Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center about 5 p.m. Williams was being taken to a Parkersburg hospital at 11 p.m. for fracture evaluation, according to a family spokesperson. The vehicle came to rest on the bank of the West Fork "hanging by a thread," according to an Arnoldsburg VFD member. A passerby hooked a chain to the Jeep to keep it from toppling over. The river was above normal stage. Williams appeared to be trapped behind the steering wheel in the open-topped Jeep when Calhoun EMS arrived. Deputy Ron Bandy of the Calhoun Sheriff's Department investigated the accident.
