MARSHALL COUNTY, W.Va. — One person was injured late Saturday night after a crash involving a passenger vehicle and a tractor-trailer on W.Va. Route 250 near Waynesburg Pike.
According to emergency radio traffic, the collision was reported shortly before 11:40 p.m. Initial reports indicated the crash involved a semi-truck and a passenger car, with at least one person trapped inside a vehicle.
Emergency responders requested an air medical helicopter early in the incident, and firefighters prepared a landing zone. However, the flight was later canceled, and the helicopter did not respond.
Authorities reported the tractor-trailer had jackknifed, forcing the closure of Route 250 while crews worked at the scene.
During the response, emergency personnel requested a deputy after an individual attempted to enter the crash scene. Radio traffic later indicated the person was a gas and oil safety official who needed to verify the incident so a nearby well pad could be notified to suspend operations.
One female patient was transported from the scene by ambulance. Her condition has not been released.
Tow crews arrived shortly after midnight and worked to separate and remove the jackknifed tractor-trailer. Route 250 remained closed for several hours while the vehicles were cleared.
The roadway reopened to traffic shortly before 3 a.m.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
