SISSONVILLE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A single vehicle accident closed Interstate 77 north in Kanawha County for a short period Thursday.

It happened just after 12:30 p.m. near the 115 mile marker in Sissonville, which is just north of the Pocatalicio exit.

Emergency crews tell WSAZ.com the driver lost control of her car and hit the guardrail. The driver was not hurt, but another woman and child were taken to the hospital.

Their injuries do not appear life threatening.

The people involved in the accident were from Tennessee.

The north bound lanes were shut down for about an hour, but they have since re-opened.

I was just wondering why you do not have any news posting of the motor vehicle accident that happened in Jackson County last nite on Rt 2 and a young lady was killed. You post this but you haven't put anything on here regarding the deadly accident. Please add the story to your website as I have been checking it all day and still nothing. Thanks.
