NEW INFORMATION
WSAZ has learned that Bethana Brewer was a teacher at Tolsia High School in Wayne County. She taught English, and has also taught at Crum Middle and Ft. Gay Middle Schools. A spokesperson for the school district says she's been teaching in the district for years.
A husband and wife were hit and killed by a car on Interstate 64 Wednesday morning near Cross Lanes.
Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputies tell WSAZ Kent Brewer and his wife, Bethana, were walking for help after car ran out of gas along Interstate 64. Deputies say Sarah Preece, age 23 of Louisa, KY, pulled over to the berm to use her cell phone when her car struck the Brewers.
The accident happened at around 2:30 a.m. in the westbound lanes of I-64, just before the Cross Lanes exit. Traffic was reduced to one lane in the westbound lanes until 5:15 a.m., but all lanes are now open and traffic is running smoothly.
Deputies tell WSAZ the couple was wearing dark clothing, and that might be a factor in the accident.
No charges have been filed in the case and the accident is still under investigation.
Kent Brewer was 44 years old, Bethana was 40. They're from Cross Lanes.
