| A Big Springs woman, Patricia Barrickman, 22, died instantly when her vehicle
struck a dump truck on WV 5 near Burning Springs, Monday morning.
Trooper C. J. Weekley of the State Police detachment in Elizabeth said
Barrickman's 1997 Saturn went left of center in a curve about 8:30 a.m., striking
the truck.
Members of Wirt EMS and the Elizabeth VFD extracted the victim from her auto,
said Trooper Weekley.
Jerry A. Smarr, who was driving eastbound in a 1997 International dump truck, was
taken to St. Joseph Hospital in Parkersburg. A report on his condition was
unavailable.
Authorities said Barrickman is the daughter of Scott and Judy Yost.
Arrangements are incomplete at Stump Funeral Home in Grantsville.
