RIPLEY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A man from Jackson County, W.Va. has been charged in connection with an accident that killed two recent high school grads last August.

Last Friday, a grand jury indicted Kurtis Barnett on two felony counts of accident involving death. The indictment alleges that Barnett failed to immediately stop his vehicle at the scene of a fatal accident, and did not stay there long enough to render aid and provide information.

Court paperwork does not clarify if Barnett was directly involved in the accident or just driving by. The prosecutor would not provide that information either.

19-year-old Bobby Sayre of Ripley and 18-year-old Ryan Smith of Cottageville both died in that crash, which happened on Parchment Valley Road in Given at about 3 a.m. on August 21, 2008.

Sheriff's deputies say the driver of the car lost control, went over a hill and rolled several times before landing in the creek. The car belonged to Smith, but investigators told WSAZ.com on the day of the crash that it was not clear if he was the driver at the time of the accident.

Deputies say it doesn't appear either was wearing a seat belt.

Both Smith and Sayre graduated from Ripley High School in June 2008.

Barnett will be arraigned on the charges July 13 at 9 a.m. in Jackson County Circuit Court.
