BOONE COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Deputies in Boone County say one person is dead after what they believe was an early morning accident.

They say an SUV was traveling on US 119, when they believe the vehicle hit a guard rail and went over a hill into the Little Coal River Camp Ground in Julian. They think the accident happened early Saturday morning.

Crews on the scene say around 8:00 Saturday morning, a camper found the SUV.
