Teens Injured, Man Facing DUI Charges for Huntington Accident

Posted on Nov 09, 2011

November 9, 2011 - Huntington, W.Va. - A man was charged in a car accident that sent 2 teenagers to the hospital on Saturday, November 5.

WSAZ reports that the accident happened at about 8:45 p.m. on Waverly Road in the Westmoreland area. Officials said that a van crashed into the rear of another car when the car came to a stop at a red light.

Two teenagers were in the car at the time of the accident. The boy, 17, was trapped in the vehicle immediately following the accident and had to be freed by emergency response crews. The boy's girlfriend, 16, also sustained injuries in the crash. Both had to be transported to a local hospital for treatment. The teenagers have since been treated and released.

The van's driver, Raymond Eugene Chinn, of Huntington, was charged with DUI, driving with a suspended license, and operating a vehicle without insurance. Officials said that his license had been suspended due to a previous DUI.
