The Memorial Day holiday weekend got off to a deadly start in West Virginia as three people were killed in separate traffic accidents. Seventeen year old Kristen Stiltner, the daughter of Wayne Mayor Dwayne Stiltner, was killed when the car she was in crashed into some trees near Camp Creek Road in East Lynn, injuring three other teenage passengers. Just after 4:00 P.M. Friday afternoon, William Fontaine of Columbus was killed when he lost control of his pickup truck near Henderson on Route 35 near the Mason-Putnam County line. The vehicle sideswiped a tractor trailer and then went head-on into the path of a second tractor-trailer, causing the pickup to go off the side of the road and burst into flames, instantly killing Fontaine. State Police are investigating a fatal crash that took place on Route 53 near Elizabeth in Wirt County early Saturday morning. Three of the victims were flown to Charleston Area Medical Center and a fourth was taken to Camden-Clark Hospital in Parkersburg.
