Charleston Man Loses Leg

  • {West Virginia}...Charleston Police arrested Thomas Carte of Lincoln County Saturday evening and charged him with DUI causing injury. Police say Arland Anderson was under the hood changing the oil in his pickup truck at the Go-Mart on 7th Avenue when Carte, the passenger of his parked truck, got behind the wheel and ran him over, driving him into a parked car and pinning him. Anderson was taken to CAMC General Hospital, where his right leg was amputated below the knee. He also has a compound fracture to his left leg and possibly a broken foot. Further charges are pending.
