A single car wreck in West Virginia turned into an extensive investigation on Sunday when eyewitnesses told police that they saw the driver remove a child’s body from the vehicle.
West Virginia State Police responded to a vehicle accident at 11 a.m., Aug. 6, on U.S. Route 250, Allegheny Mountain, a mile and a half west of the Virginia border.
At this time, an older couple from New York City approached the troopers saying that they saw the driver carry a child’s body from the car. Police found the dead child about 150 feet from the car over an embankment.
“If it hadn’t been for an older couple from New York City who observed the child being removed from the vehicle, we probably would have just thought it was a minor motor vehicle accident with a driver and nobody else,” said Sgt. Fred Barlow of the West Virginia State Police.
