Vehicle Sought In Fatal Accident

  • {West Virginia}...The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office released details Thursday about the accident that killed 25 year old Zachary Hudnall of Scott Depot. Hudnall, a student at West Virginia State University, was pronounced dead at Charleston Area Medical Center in Charleston Tuesday afternoon. Police say, about 1:15 A.M. Monday, he was traveling east on Interstate 64 near the Cross Lanes exit when his car struck an unknown vehicle that was either stopped or traveling very slowly without lights on. Hudnall lost control of his vehicle and a cargo van driven by David Westover, 56, of South Charleston, struck Hudnall’s car from behind, pushing it into the path of a car driven by Mark Puryear, 45, of Louisa, Kentucky. Police think the vehicle that Hudnall struck could be a pickup truck with a lift kit that raises it higher off the ground than standard trucks. Anyone with information about the vehicle, which should have substantial damage, is asked to call the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office at 304-357-0160.
