Calhoun EMS responded at 9:30 a.m. yesterday to a truck accident in Ritchie County on State Rt. 16, between the Calhoun line and Smithville, where two men were injured.
Bruce Schoolcraft was taken to Camden-Clark Hospital in Parkersburg for treatment of possible fractures, and Sandy Satterfield was treated and released.
Ed Eisley, the driver of another vehicle in a second accident,
near the intersection of Klipstine Road and Rt. 16 in the Five Forks-Big Springs area, escaped injury.
That vehicle went over an embankment and landed near a creek.
Black ice likely contributed to both accidents.
The Smithville VFD responded to the Ritchie County accident.
The Grantsville VFD and State Police responded to the Klipstine accident.
A third Rt. 16 wreck proved fatal for a Grantsville area couple last night. (See Hur Herald Story)
