SISSONVILLE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The driver of a car was killed, his passenger seriously injured after an accident Monday morning in northern Kanawha County.

It happened at about 12:35 a.m. on Sissonville Drive near Derricks Creek Road.

Both Rardon and his passenger, 31-year-old Christopher Young of Sissonville, were thrown from the car.

Drinking and driving and not wearing your seatbelt is very dangerous and shows no regard for the safety of yourself or others.

Chris Young is having surgery on his hip tomorrow. His hip & leg were both crushed & they had to give him 2 pints of blood. Luckily, the internal bleeding has stopped and he is stable enough for surgery.
