OHIO COUNTY, W.Va. — A woman has been sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to causing serious injuries in a high-speed, alcohol-related crash on Interstate 70 in Ohio County.
Brooke Dulaney was sentenced July 2 by Ohio County Circuit Judge Michael Olejasz after previously being convicted of driving while impaired and causing bodily injury to another person, a felony offense.
The case stems from a July 25, 2025, crash on Interstate 70 westbound near the Main Street exit in Wheeling.
According to investigators, Dulaney was driving a Jaguar SUV at approximately 116 miles per hour when she lost control of the vehicle. The SUV became airborne before coming to rest near the interstate.
A passenger was ejected through the vehicle’s sunroof during the crash and suffered serious injuries. The victim was transported to Wheeling Hospital, where she underwent surgery and received treatment in the intensive care unit.
The City of Wheeling Police Department investigated the crash and determined Dulaney’s blood alcohol concentration measured 0.176—more than twice West Virginia’s legal limit for impaired driving.
Judge Olejasz sentenced Dulaney to a prison term of not less than two years and not more than 10 years in the custody of the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Officials said the sentence reflects the seriousness of the crash, which resulted in life-threatening injuries but did not claim any lives.
