Police say a woman was killed and three others hurt after a head-on collision near the Kanawha-Clay County line.

It happened at about 7am Friday on Route 4 about a mile from the Clay County line.

According to Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputies, a witness said that a south bound pick-up was attempting to pass a vehicle when it struck a mini-van traveling north.

Deputies say Mary Villa, 25 of Procious, was driving the mini-van; and Chris Taylor, 21 of Bickmore, was driving the pickup truck.

Villa was flown to CAMC General in Charleston where she later died. Deputies say Taylor and his two passengers were taken to the hospital. No word yet on their injuries.

if there was a vehicle passed in this accident there would be three vehicles in the accident not just two. Christopher was on his way to work to support his family. i am truly sorry for the loss of a mother and daughter but it was gods will. if it wasnt ment to happen it would have not happen. my prayers are with the families of the accident. Some of the statments are very cruel and distasteful. people should not be posting cruel comments, should be posting hope and prayers for both families. It is a hard time for both. I am chris's sister inlaw and he does NOT drink or do drugs. he is a very kind hearted person who would give someone the shirt off his back. He does have a family to!! I do feel sorry for the other family! Please be kind and not so rude. Get your facts straight before you judge someone

First off i would like to say that my prayers are with both families.I don't know the girl but i do know the driver of the pickup truck and he was not late for work he was a half hour early and its not right for people to be saying anything because they don't know for sure what happened.Chris is a very loving and caring man,he also has a famliy {he has a little girl that just turned two}. He has drove that same road for two years every day.He does not drink {he was on his way to work}also i would like to say he is not a young punk with a truck. He has no memory of what happened that day or even getting up that early because he has a bad head injury.We had to tell him that he was accident and the boys that was in the truck with him had to tell about everything else,and it is the first of January,2008 and he still can not remember anything. He is the kind of man and friend that he would do anything for anyone even if he didn't know them.I pray for both families.Im Chris's fiance.

I know the driver of the truck and there was no eye witness. The police stated there was an eyewitness then later it was confirmed wrong. If the driver was at fault, then why does the police report state otherwise. Before posting comments, you need to get your facts straight. The only comments that should be posted is prayers not rumors.
