An Ohio driver on the West Virginia Turnpike has been charged with DUI involving death following a Sunday accident.
32-year-old Joseph Scott Adkins was charged late Sunday night to early Monday morning. No bond has been set as of today. Officers say the accident occurred on I-&& southbound near the I-64 split. Adkins allegedly rear ended a tractor trailer, though the exact cause of the accident is not reported yet. A passenger traveling in Adkin's car, 43-year-old Terry Mays, died at the scene of the accident.
The tractor trailer driver and other passengers on the roadway were uninjured. Adkins was taken to the hospital to be treated for injuries prior to being booked in the jail. Reports do not indicate what substance Adkins had ingested, meaning he could have been under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs or prescription drugs. Further investigation will reveal the exact substance as well as the circumstances that lead to the crash.
