Uniontown woman killed in West Virginia crash
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — The Monongalia County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a Wednesday crash on Grafton Road that claimed the life of a Uniontown woman and injured three other people.
At 6 p.m. Wednesday, deputies were sent to the 2500 block of Grafton Road (Route 119) to respond to a three-vehicle collision.
According to information provided by the sheriff’s office, a 2020 Harley-Davidson ridden by Brian Livingood of Reedsville, W. Va., was traveling south, followed by a 2017 Ford F-250 driven by Jerry Robinson with passenger Michael Mitchell, both of Barbour County in West Virginia.
A 2003 Mercury Mountaineer operated by Chelsea Deziray Johnson of Uniontown was traveling north when the vehicle crossed the center line and entered the southbound lane, deputies said. Johnson’s vehicle apparently struck the rear of Livingood’s motorcycle, causing it to crash. The Mercury then collided head-on with the pickup truck.
Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene. Livingood suffered serious injuries and was transported to Ruby Memorial Hospital, where he remained in the intensive care unit as of Thursday morning. Robinson and Mitchell were taken to the same hospital for treatment of minor or non-life-threatening injuries.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with additional information and/or video footage of the incident is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 304-291-7260.
