I-79 fatality

Police are withholding the identity of the driver who died after his Chevrolet Cavalier crossed an Interstate 79 median in Marion County early Monday afternoon and struck a northbound truck. A hazardous materials team from Monongalia County and officials from the Marion County Office of Emergency Services worked well into the evening transferring a load of chemical solvents from the damaged truck to another rig. The shift of scores of drums took several hours and closed the interstate in both directions.
