Man Killed in Single-Vehicle Car Crash in Monongalia County

Posted on Sep 12, 2011

September 12, 2011 - Monongalia County, W.Va. - A man was killed in a single-vehicle accident on Saturday, September 10.

A news report from WDTV indicates that the accident happened at about 2:45 a.m. on Van Vorhees Road, around Baker's Ridge. According to officials on the scene, Robert Tingley was driving southbound on the road when he lost control of his vehicle as he attempted to negotiate a turn.

The vehicle went off of the roadway and flipped over. It finally crashed to a stop in a nearby ditch.

Tingley was fatally injured in the accident and was confirmed dead at the scene.

According to reports, there were no other people in the vehicle and no other vehicles were involved.

The cause of the car crash remains to be determined. Officials said that speed may have been a primary factor in the accident but they will not know for sure until Morgantown State Police are done investigating.
