2 killed in Fayette County crash
Two people were killed and two others injured in a one-vehicle accident on Route 40 (Redstone Way) in Redstone Township, Fayette County, early Wednesday morning.
State police said one of the injured was flown to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va., and the other was transported to a nearby hospital by ambulance. The severity of the injuries was not immediately known. Police did not release the names of the deceased because the next of kin had not yet been notified.
The crash occurred between Colvin and Grindstone roads about 4:45 a.m., according to a Fayette County 911 supervisor.
Authorities said the vehicle was speeding, and noted no environmental factors contributed to the crash.
Traffic was detoured for about two hours while police conducted an investigation. The road reopened about 8 a.m.
