Three people injured in Byrd Drive accident

Three people were injured in an accident Saturday on Robert C. Byrd Drive in Beckley, city police said.

Jessica White, 24, of Charleston, was driving a 2004 Pontiac SUV south on Byrd Drive just before Veterans Drive at about 3:19 p.m. when she decided to make a U-turn in the middle of the road, police said.

A pickup truck driven by Lewis Prince, 38, of MacArthur was traveling in the same lane behind White when she made the U-turn. Police say Prince’s truck impacted the Pontiac and the truck landed on the guard rail.

Lewis was transported to Beckley Appalachian Regional Hospital, and White and Dominique Sanders of Charleston, a passenger in the Pontiac, were transported to Raleigh General Hospital for injuries.

The investigation is ongoing by Cpl. Roy Redden. He says citations are pending.
