CHARLESTON, W.Va. — State Police are investigating two deadly weekend accidents.

The wreck happened around 5 a.m.  The cause has not been determined.  The box truck was the only vehicle involved.

In Grant County, a Saturday crash claimed the life of a Brandywine man.  State Police said it happened on Secondary Route 21, about two miles south of Route 33, near Propstburg Road.

A passenger in the vehicle, James Helmick, 87, also of Brandywine, was critically injured and was flown to the University of Virginia hospital for treatment.
