Cleveland woman killed crash on West Virginia Turnpike
KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ/WOIO) – West Virginia State Police said Monday a Cleveland woman has died after she was involved in two crashes Sunday on the West Virginia Turnpike.
Alexis Vega, 25, of Cleveland, has been identified as the victim.
The incident happened near mile-marker 87 of I-77 and I-64 in the Chesapeake area.
Troopers say the first crash happened in the southbound lanes.
According to police, Vega’s vehicle struck the concrete median barrier and came to rest sideways in both lanes of travel.
Vega got out of the vehicle and was walking in the traffic lanes, troopers said, when another driver stopped and tried to help her off the roadway.
Sadly, troopers say the driver of a southbound tractor-trailer was unable to stop and hit the witness’s car, as well as Vega.
She was taken to a hospital, where troopers say she later died.
