Posted on Sep 27, 2011

September 27, 2011 - Morgantown, W.Va. - A man was taken to the hospital after he was involved in a single-vehicle car accident on Saturday, September 24.

A news story on WBOY reported that the accident occurred at about 6:30 p.m. on Don Knotts Boulevard. A red Ford Mustang was travelling southbound on the road when its driver lost control. The Mustang ran off of the roadway, then down an embankment before it finally crashed in a parking lot close to Hite Electric.

The driver, identified as Larry Capelety, had to be transported to Ruby Memorial Hospital immediately following the accident. The extent of his injuries remains unknown.

Capelety's vehicle was the only one related to this accident and there were no other passengers in the vehicle at the time of the accident. No further injuries have been reported.
