A manager of Grantsville's Foodland grocery store was killed when a vehicle
in which she was apparently riding crashed against a hillside Saturday
night.
Amanda Rogers, 26, of Grantsville was dead on scene as emergency
workers from Calhoun EMS and the Grantsville Volunteer Fire Department
extracted her from the vehicle.
Ms. Rogers had been an employee of the local grocery store for some
time.
State Police reportedly arrested one woman, possibly the driver of the
vehicle, late Saturday night, while a second woman was taken to Minnie
Hamilton Health Care Center for treatment. Authorities are continuing an
investigation regarding the circumstances surrounding the fatality.
Two other occupants of the sports utility vehicle were tentatively identified
as Melinda Hicks of Cabot Station and Holly Cunningham of Barnes Run.
The accident occurred about 9:30 p.m. two miles west of Mount Zion (Rt. 16)
on rural Barnes Run Road.
Ms. Rogers body has been sent to the West Virginia State Medical Examiners
Office in Charleston, according to Stump Funeral Home in Grantsville.
