West Virginia Thaw Injures Two
WEST VIRGINIA....
The unthawing from last week’s snow storm caused a rock slide Thursday on W.Va. Route 49 near Williamson, injuring Peggy Kinder and Daisy Nowlin, both of North Matewan. Falling rock trapped the elderly women in their vehicle, pushing them off the road and nearly off the mountain, causing them personal injury, as well as damage to their vehicle. Mingo County Director of Emergency Mangement Jared Fletcher says work will begin Monday, December 28th, to remove fallen rocks, with work expected to take approximately 10 days.
