Members of the Grantsville Volunteer Fire Department continued the search
yesterday evening for an auto that submerged in the Little Kanawha River.
Grantsville resident Dustin McCormick lost his life Tuesday night in the crash.
The Ford Focus apparently went out of control on State Route 5 west at the
Grantsville town limits, plunging over a steep embankment, striking a tree and
sinking into the river.
The river level has been up and the water running swiftly.
Jason Rider, 26, of Grantsville, a passenger in the car, was transferred to
Charleston Area Medical Center yesterday evening from Minnie Hamilton Health
Care Center for further evaluation and treatment. His condition was described as
satisfactory by family members.
Funeral arrangements for McCormick are pending at Stump Funeral Home in
Grantsville.
