Crash Kills Beckley Man

{Pax, West Virginia}...Troopers were dispatched Wednesday evening to the Pax toll plaza on the W.Va. Turnpike after a three-vehicle crash involving two tractor trailers. Police say Michael Reeves Daugherty, 46, of Kansas had been driving south on the Turnpike when he failed to stop his tractor-trailer at the toll plaza and struck the back of a vehicle driven by Jeremy Dickens, 34, of Beckley. The crash caused Dickens' vehicle to strike the rear of another tractor-trailer stopped at one of the tollbooths. Dickens died as a result of his injuries.
