PAX, W.Va. — State police are looking for the driver of a car who fled a crash scene on the West Virginia Turnpike in Raleigh County.
Troopers said they tried to stop the motorist heading south on I-77 between Pax and the North Beckley exits at about 3:15 p.m. Thursday after observed traffic violations.
The driver wouldn’t stop.
Troopers said the vehicle was then involved in a wreck with a tractor trailer closer to the North Beckley exit. He ran from the scene near Maple Fork Road in Raleigh County. Troopers said someone may have given the driver a ride to the Mount Hope area where he again fled the scene.
The suspect has not been identified.
Anyone with information is asked to contact West Virginia State Police Turnpike at 304-256-6786.
